Astaka Kota Selera / EA Architects
Astaka Kota Selera is a sensitive architectural intervention that reconciles the preservation of Malaysia's colonial heritage with the vibrant, lived reality of its contemporary street food culture. The project is a pivotal component of the North Seafront Improvement Programme in George Town, Penang, born from a unique archaeological necessity: the reinstatement of the Western Moat of Fort Cornwallis. The original food court sat directly atop the historic moat's alignment; to allow for the excavation and reconstruction of this defensive landmark, the culinary facility required a strategic relocation.
