Implementation of Malay traditional layout on modern housing using the Industrialised Building System (IBS) concept / Muhammad Iqmal Haqeem Shaiful Hisam and Wan Nur Syazwani Wan Mohammad

Traditional Malay Layout has been an integral component of Malaysian architecture, distinguished by its elevated floor levels, separate living quarters, and distinct outdoor and interior areas. Industrialised Building System (IBS) is a construction methodology that involves using prefabricated components and modular construction techniques to build structures. With the advent of contemporary housing design, however, these conventional characteristics have been largely neglected. As a result, an increasing number of Malaysians are opting for modern housing layouts, which frequently lack the warmth, personality, and functionality of traditional Malay residences. The objectives of this study are to: 1) identify issues related to modern housing, 2) implement the Malay traditional layout to the current modern layout using the IBS concept, and 3) determine the marketability prospect of the new proposed layout.
