Abstract

The originality of Malaysia’s original culture and history will eventually disappear unless local heritage is preserved and recorded. Inadequate documentation may make it more difficult to preserve this heritage. Thus, data documentation and compilation are an alternative option. The objectives of this study are to identify the Malay architectural heritage and the uniqueness of traditional house of Rumah Tok Gajah. Data were gathered by on-site measurement, observation, visual analysis, and a detailed evaluation of the house’s components. The output of this study is limited to two-dimensional drawing, manual sketches and also laser-cut models with frames has contributed for data documentation.
