Architecture ecologised: nature’s patterns and abstractions in Malay built traditions

The following paper discusses analysis and morphology of key motifs and patterns drawn from a range of cases in Malay architecture and built form, which arise of centuries of observation of nature and its eventual artistic expressions in building elements. They focus on patterns found in many tradit...
