Climatic design principles of traditional Malay architecture and its application into modern built forms : the potential and restriction / Idura Mohd Ghouse

In the advent of Post Modernism Architecture in Malaysia, the Traditional Malay Architecture is being forgotten and regarded as out-of-date and irrelevant. Not only the forms, but the true essence of the building functions and design principles which adapts to its climate and providing thermal co...
