Malaysian Architecture Fusion Architecture Religious Places Space and People MALAYSIAN ARCHITECTURE :- Malaysian architecture in its traditional sense is mainly influenced by its surrounding countries and the outsider force that colonized it in the distant past. Naturally, because we have many different races, Malaysian architecture is not only limited to Malay architecture but also Chinese architecture, Indian architecture and lets not forget the other tribes from Sabah and Sarawak. One of the most distinct feature of Malaysian Architecture is that it is greatly affected by the climate and weather (raining, hot, humid etc...) This can be seen on the design of the traditional building which always have an steep upside-down V roof which are widely overhang as well as houses raised on timber stilts or pile to elevate the building and protect from floods. One of the most unique architecture of Malaysia is of course the traditional Malay architecture which has some influence from Indonesia. One of the most bold feature is that almost all of the building is made from renewable material such as timber. Traditionally, no nails is used on the building but instead they use pre-cut holes and grooves to joint timbers together. Since the building is raised above ground, another feature that can be seen is the stairs which connect the land to the serambi (porch). Sometimes the stairs is made from brick structure and tiles rather than wood and nicely decorated. Types of traditional Malay house (each has variation in the architecture influenced by local culture and tradition as well as functionality) :
RELIGIOUS PLACES A religious places or places of worship are usually special type of buildings or areas that is used where group of people comes to hold prayers, acts of devotion or sometimes religious study. Some religious places may also accommodate some people. Example of religious places are mosque which are used by Muslims, churches which are used by the many denomination of Christianity, temples and monastery that can belong to different types of religion and belief. The architecture of religious places can be usually distinctive from other building because it combines element of sacred architecture amongst others. This distinctive features varies in different religious places. For example, mosque usually has a big dome with a few minarets as well as a large open-space for prayers. On the other hand, Christian churches, Hinduism and Buddhism temples may have sacred statues and artwork which a mosque cannot have. Since many cultures uphold high views on religious places, they naturally put considerable effort and resources on the design making it stand out from other buildings. PEOPLE AND SPACE According to Pelin Dursun (2009), space is truly the core of architecture. It is one of the factor that we need to think about and give utmost priority as without space, one cannot design anything adequate that are suitable to its functionality of the building. Space is the relative position of three dimensional object in relation to other. In architecture, the space refers to the amount of land that will be occupied by the building and the remaining area is called open areas. "Space is more than a simple volume that surrounds us. First, it has its physical form that can be easily decoded and described by its concrete characteristics such as length, width, scale, geometry and also texture, colour, light, etc. Second, it has other characteristics that are abstract and complex, and difficult to talk about. These are codes, rules and abstract parts shaping meaningful things in space. In understanding and discovering these spatial characteristics, the key element appears as the man-space relationship." - Pelin Dursun |
