Kampong Ayer stilt-walkway study

What it means: The heritage gallery’s stated aim is to preserve the water village amid modernization while supporting local businesses and reviving traditional industries. The motif represents an architectural arrangement rather than a timeless village or any resident’s particular home; it does not reuse domestic decorations, religious structures or personal stories.

Kampong Ayer comprises living neighbourhoods raised on piles over the Brunei River and connected by walkways and bridges. Brunei’s tourism and heritage sources describe everyday river life alongside efforts to preserve local history as the settlement changes. This study focuses on the structural relationship between small raised buildings, their access decks and the water below.
