Summary

The traditional Malay house is one of the richest components of Malaysia's cultural heritage, and an excellent model for today's architects and designers in understanding climatic and environmental design, building systems, and design flexibility. Designed and built by the villagers themselves, it serves an inspriational purpose, in the way it manifests the creative and aesthetic skills of the Malays.This book captures the spirit of the traditional Malay house, its cultural richness, and how this humble, simple and neglected form of architecture has a vital and essential role to play in fulfilling the present and future housing needs of Malaysians, other Third World cultures, and westernized societies that want to be more environmentally-respectful and culturally aware.
