description |
Since indigenous construction, sustainability had appeared into practice though it was not
performed in high technology manner. The paper focuses on the traditional masjids in Malaysia
where traditional technology of passive design has long been inculcated. Passive design strategies
which are practical are ablution from rain water harvesting, comfortable interior without mechanical
ventilation and flexible layout with future expansion, employment of materials suitable to the
climate and simple device of roofing system that gives major contribution to the indoor space
quality. The paper reveals that practical sustainability features used by the former generations
suggest great contributions to the future of architecture and construction without inflating the cost.
Three masjids are chosen to be case studies and they are examined and observed in order to conform
on the performance of practical sustainability. |
