MALAYSIAN HERITAGE ARCHITECTURE and video shooting
Helloooo! Today is a special day as we are doing a little video shooting for a competition we participate in which is an EDOLA competition where we compete with other Polytechnic in Malaysia.
This week we have a special guess, En Jamri, Penyelaras bilik TECC, from Jabatan Kejuruteraan Elekrik to record a video of today's class. Lets thank En Jamri for his amazing camera work.
To start the class, as we usually do, we recite a quick prayer. After that we do recap from last week activities by watching a video from the groups, the one that i posted in last entry. And we also have a representative from each group to give a feedback. What i can say is, last week left us with a really great memories.
Right after that we play our fav game KAHOOT!!! The winner is Azizi, Hakimi, and Syukri. They all receive a winning price from our lecture which is a sketch book.
MALAYSIAN HERITAGE ARCHITECTURE
Last chapter for this subject is Malaysian Heritage Architecture.
The Minangkabau house in Negeri Sembilan
-In Negeri Sembilan, the Minangkabau descendants are still holding fast to Perpatih tradition that was subscribed to and practiced by their ancestors. ◦ These houses that are passed on through generations remain to this day and exist around traditional villages in Negeri Sembilan located at upstream and along the rivers found. ◦ The houses that are still embellished with traditions can be found in districts of Rembau, Kuala Pilah and small parts in Tampin. These houses place emphasis more on the verandah, leaving few areas for room spaces. This is the opposite of the house in Western Sumatera.
-The influence of the Minangkabau culture is from the Minangkabau people in Indonesia. In Negeri Sembilan, most of the Malays originated from Minangkabau (National Archives of Malaysia, 2015) Thus, the influence of Minangkabau culture is very strong. Rumah Minangkabau also known as "rumah gadang are the traditional matriarchal homes of the Minangkabau people"(Bahauddin et al, 2012). The rumah gadang serves as a "residence and also hall for family meetings and ceremonial activities" (Bahauddin et al, 2012). The uniqueness of Minangkabau houses is the shape of the roof which clearly differs it from other Malay houses. The Minangkabau house "has a long curved-shaped roof with both ends of the roof pointing slightly upwards" (National Archives of Malaysia, 2015). The roof looks like buffalo horn that people often associates it with the stories Tambo Minangkabau Alam that is actually about the victory of Minangkabau people fighting against Javanese buffalo (Nusantara Cultures, 2011).
Rumah Gadang
- Rumah gadang like any other Malay houses has serambi, rumah ibu, anjung, rumah dapur and tengah. In my opinion, the reasons they separate the spaces accordingly is to ensure activities can be carry out conveniently. They separated the front portion and back portion to separate the spaces for male and female. Rumah Minangkabau is very unique as it have Indonesia culture in it together with local culture.
Seri Menanti Palace
- The four-storey palace Minangkabau "Rumah-rumah Adat" architecture, was constructed without nails, pieced together with hardwood dowels and rivets. 99 posts were used in the construction and the entire structure was raised on timber posts made of penak (cengal) wood, transported 64km from a forest in Bukit Perigi, Jelebu. Each post represents famous warriors from various groups. The four main posts at the centre of the palace rise 20 metres(60feet) from the ground to the central tower (the highest floor) and each post is made from a single cengal tree trunk. Decorating the roof of the central tower are a pair of locked buffalo horns, regarded as a protective symbol for Minangkabau houses. The roof tiles or genting, are made from ironwood (kayu belian), a hardwood species that is extremely rare now. These were imported from Sarawak. Istana Sri Menanti was the official residence of the royal family until 1931 and was turned into a Royal Museum in 1992.
Istana Kenangan Kuala Kangsar
- It was built in 1926 for Sultan Iskandar Shah by the Malay carpenter Enci Sepian from Bukit Mertajam, with the assistance of his sons Zainal Abidin and Ismail. The palace was previously known as the Valley Palace due to its location. The palace had been the official residence between 1931 and 1933. However, upon completion of Istana Iskandariah, the Istana Kenangan was used to host royal receptions and where the palace guests stayed. It today houses the Royal Museum of Perak.
Istana Kenangan Kuala Kangsar
- HISTORY
It is two storeys high with the top floor consisting of:
◦ the bedchamber,
◦ family bedrooms
◦ dining hall
The ground floor was once used as the official royal office where its original floor was made out of solid wood. The wooden floor however had been replaced by marble.
◦ Istana Kenangan represents the remarkable traditional Malay architecture. The construction of Istana Kenangan is wholly used in hardwood, tepas walled and roofed wood (belian timber) characterized by perabung lima and pisang sesikat.
◦ Iron nails (metal nails) are not used in the construction of the Istana Kenangan. The palace is adorned with intriguing Malay carvings and the use of woven yarns with traditional Malay wreath patterns.
◦ The building is built on 60 pillars of which the length is about 41 meters and 11 meters wide
◦ The shape of this building if viewed from the air looks like a sword that is stored in the sheath.
◦ The centerpiece of the building was placed on a throne and on the ground floor was made as an official office for the Royal Highness.
◦ This lower ground floor using cement floor and its surroundings covered with shutters.
Sultan Abdul Samad Building
ORIGIN AND DESIGN
◦ The government offices of the British colonial administration was originally located in the Bluff Road (present day Jalan Bukit Aman) area on a hill overlooking the Padang now called Merdeka Square. However, due to the need for more office space and complaints from the public about the necessity of going up and down the hill, the State Engineer of Selangor Public Work Department Charles Edwin Spooner proposed the building of government offices lower down at the plain. The initial suggestion was rejected due to cost, but the British Resident of Selangor William Edward Maxwell accepted a second proposal that cost less.
◦ The building has two stories, with the floor plan roughly in the shape of the letter F with an extended top bar representing the frontage. The facade of the building faces the Padang and stretches over 137.2 metres (450 ft) along Jalan Raja, at that time the largest building in Malaya. The building has 3.5 metres (11 ft) wide verandas on both floors. A central clock tower is 41 metres (135 ft) in height, and designed to echo the Big Ben but in an Indo-Saracenic style. Two lower towers flanked the clock tower, each containing a staircase.
◦ The design of these two towers may have been influenced by Muir Central College of Allahabad in India.All three towers are topped by a copper-clad onion dome. The style of the building is sometimes referred to as the "blood and bandages" style – red bricks with white plastered arches and banding.
CONSTRUCTION
◦ The construction of the building began in September 1894 and was completed in 1897. The foundation stone was laid on 6 October 1894 by the Governor of the Straits Settlements Sir Charles Mitchell. The building sits on an area of 1.034 hectares, with the floor of the building occupying an area of 4,208.5 square metres (45,300 sq ft). The construction used 4 million bricks, 2,500 barrels of cement, 18,000 pikuls of lime, 5,000 lbs of copper, 50 tons of steel and iron, and about 30,000 cubic feet of timber.
◦ Spooner had previously established in the Brickfields area a factory for the production of large number of higher quality bricks, tiles and other building material suitable for the construction of the building. The cost of construction was $152,000 Straits Dollar.
◦ Spooner also made many alterations and additions while the building was being constructed with the help of A. B. Hubback. Some of these, such as an extra two and a half feet of brickwork on the lower walls, were necessary to strengthen the building due to it being built so close to the river.
◦ The height of the clock tower had also caused much concern to the public, who thought that the tower may collapse due to the ground vibrations caused by a loud signal gun fired daily at noon and 5 pm, the built tower however proved to be sturdy.
◦ A problem arose with the clock first delivered as it was not in harmony with the building, and it was replaced by a second one. The clock was manufactured by Gillett & Johnston Ltd of Croydon.

After that, we played a quiz using website, QUIZLET.
