  • Carved Arabesques in Malay Traditional Houses
    JOURNAL OF ARCHITCTURE, PLANNING & CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT Volume 5 Issue 1, 2015 Carved Arabesques in Malay Traditional Houses: Skill, Tradition and Preservation of Identity Zumahiran Kamarudin1, Ismail Said2 1Lecturer, Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design, International Islamic University Malaysia, P.O. Box 10, 50728, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2Associate Professor, Department of Landscape Architecture, Faculty of Built Environment, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 81310, Skudai, Johor, Malaysia zumahiran@iium,edu.my Abstract This study aims to explore the placement and fabrication of the wood carvings within the old Kelantan and Terengganu timber houses. The main objective of this study was to examine the placement of wood carvings in the houses with emphasis on its fabrication as house components. Non-interactive and interactive methods of data collection were employed as research tactics. The non-interactive method involved archival review of 25 sets of measured drawings of the Kelantan and Terengganu timber houses from the Centre for Study of Built Environment in the Malay World at the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. The interactive method involved semi-structured interviews with five woodcarvers to obtain their verification on the findings from the analytical review which served as the primary data. The study found that architectural components of the houses especially perforated ventilation panels of walls, doors and windows were fabricated in different composition of carvings with intricate arabesque design. Regularity in the placement of these components give spatial identity to the principal spaces such as ‘rumah ibu’ (core house), ‘serambi’ (verandah) and main bedrooms. Fabrication of the carvings as house components was in parallel with their structural layouts and functions.
