Kampong Ayer, or the Water Village (Malay:
Kampong Ayer)
is an area of Brunei's
capital city Bandar Seri Begawan that is situated after the
Brunei Bay. 39,000 people live in the Water Village. This represents roughly
ten percent of the nation's total population. All of the Water Villagebuildings are constructed on stilts above the Brunei River.
This year after our chinese new year display we've plan to make another display in replacement of chinese new year so we came up to the idea of display that will known of the country, so we've decided that we make a painting display.
And our subject is the Kampong Ayer (water village) largest water village in the world
The Water Village is really made up of small villages linked together by
more than 29,140 meters of foot-bridges, consisting of over 4200
structures including homes, mosques, restaurants, shops, schools, and a
hospital. 36 kilometers of boardwalks connect the buildings. Private
water taxis provide rapid transit. Most of these taxis resemble long
wooden speed boats. From a distance the water village looks like a slum.
It actually enjoys modern amenities including air conditioning,
satellite television, Internet access, plumbing, and electricity. Some
of the residents keep potted plants and chickens. The district has a
unique architectural heritage of wooden homes with ornate interiors
Here's my Master piece of this beautiful water village including there mosque and a shopping mall own by our company , I've painted it in a styrofoam(polystyrene) 4ft x 18ft using acrylic base paints.
