reflects most to the environment which can be seen through the building construction

pitched roofs to enable rain water to run off quickly
many openings including louvered windows, fanlights and carving panels to allow
natural cross ventilation of air
build on stilts to raise the mosques above ground level to avoid floods and
consequently a purpose for ventilation comfort and safety precaution are the in
response to the environment
Similar to some areas in Indonesia called the roof design as ‘joglo roof” as reflects to its
original roof design from traditional Javanese house

contemporary designs in England.

Category of Masjid based on influences
Masjid Sino-Eklektik di Malaysia
Masjid yang banyak mendapat pengaruh dari Arsitektur
Cina yang terlihat pada elemen-elemen bangunan dan bentuk arsitekturnya
bertingkat tiga dapat ditemukan pada masjid Kampung Hulu, Masjid Tengkera dan masjid
Kampung Keling di Melaka atau Masjid Undang kamat dan
bertingkat dua dapat ditemukan pada masjid Undang Serun di Negeri Sembilan
Karakter utama dari elemennya adalah pembahagian tiga elemen utama dari bangunan
iaitu dasar, tengah dan atas dengan tiang ganda yang menyokong gerbang dan dinding
yang melengkung dan dilengkapi
dengan pilaster
dikategorikan vernakular kerana penggunaan dan tersedianya bahan baru ini merupakan hal
yang normal di Malaysia pada masa kini.
menggunakan atap tebar layar atau piramid dengan sebuah kubah kecil atau pada
masjid yang lebih mahal, kubah yang lebih besar yang menutupi ruang solat utamanya
Imej masjid jenis ini banyak dipengaruhi oleh imej yang diberikan oleh parti pemerintah.
pendapat bahawa arsitektur yang sebenarnya adalah yang menolak revivalisme sejarah dan ornamentasi dalam
pelbagai bentuk, dan menghormati abstraks bentuk dan ekspresi struktur dalam arsitektur

Traditional Mosque Ornamentation in Malaysia
Buah Buton Other names of buah buton are tunjuk langit, buah guntung, buah bubun, tajuk rumah,
selembayung, sulo bayung, tanduk buang, silang gunting, mahkota atap, mustika, mustoko,
keting belalang, puncak coppo’, julang ngapak, gonjong
The system utilized complex tenon and motise joints that require no metal fasteners to join the
timber members.
A major proportion of structural, elemental and decorative components of the mosque were
made from cengal; a timber species well known for its durability and resistance to effect of
moisture and attacks from fungus and termites.
To minimize the effect of moisture and to gain maximum effect of airflow, the buildings were
constructed on stilts
the stilts were all made from cengal posts and planted into the ground on buried stone footings.
Simple traditional hand tools such as chisels, axe, ceter (a small hoe), plane, jig saw and drill are
used to cut, incise or shave the timber boards for carving.
Spatial Organization
Masjid Kampong Laut is the largest with 342m2 floor area and Masjid Aur Menajung is the
smallest with 47m2 floor area.
A minaret exists at Masjid Telok Manok as an extension of the roof covering the mihrab
Masjid Kampong Laut as a 25-meter tall structure linked by a resting space to the main
prayer hall
The longest span of the floor and roof beams is 5.1m long in Masjid Kampong Laut. This long
span is possible using thick cengal beams, some measuring more than 75x230mm.
Before the presence of electricity and mechanical ventilation systems, the builders took
full advantage on the natural airflow of the tropical climate.
The hot, humid tropical climate demands plenty of ventilation in a building. Thus craftsmen
installed many perforated components such as ventilation panels (top hung) over door and
window, perforated walls, louvered window leaves, perforated gables and tiered roofs (similar
to jack roofs) with perforated panels. Many of the ventilation panels, walls and door leaves are
carved in simple geometric patterns, or with complex floral or calligraphic forms.
