Identifying Malay regional character through aristocratic architectural elements

Malay architectural traditions range from the traditional timber traditions of the early era of the Malay world to the late hybrid forms of the 1800s and early 1900s. The paper attempts to create regional grouping in the Malay world that can be used to characterise the extreme variation and diversit...
