Adaptation of Traditional Malay Wall Element in Modular System
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Engineering and Technology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Abstract:Preservation of the aesthetical aspects of the traditional buildings especially the traditional Malay house is relatively unsolved due to the limitation of the material used specifically the timber. The traditional Malay house system is basically a modular system in terms of measurement, panel dismantle-reassemble method, expandable and moveable as well. Modular system allows many advantages in construction process and final production. Some of the lists are cost-effectiveness in terms of time consuming in site, labour, product materials and many more. The quality of modular system also can be monitored wisely as it is develop in factory in mass production according to the design. This paper proposes the adaptation of modular system in modern housing that integrated with the traditional Malay house component specifically the non-structural component such as the wall system. The issues of modular using the traditional components will be analysed using observation and site visit and analysis. The system generated can be applied to the housing development in Malaysia and in the meantime preserving the aesthetic elements of the traditional Malay house. The outcome of this paper will acknowledge a concept of modular housing system adapting the traditional wall element in building environment, and appreciating the aesthetic value of the traditional Malay house as well. Keywords: House, wall, built environment, traditional, IBS, Malay house.
