Abstract

Perak’s Malay Sultanate is known to have the longest root in the Malaysian Sultanate tradition with the most numbers of Sultans (35). Interestingly, 27 of them built a new palace, each for themselves, rather than using the inherited ones. However, those 27 locations of the royal palaces of the Perak’s Malay Sultanate are yet to be identified and recorded. This has called upon the needs to conduct a preliminary investigation on those locations based on scrutiny of secondary data (theoretically through old manuscripts and historical writings) and primary data (empirically through interviewing local people and utilising GIS technology). Analysis based on the data triangulations hence would provide a scientific and systematic inventory of the royal palaces of Perak’s Malay Sultanate.

Abstract

There are key ‘forms’ and intensities of natural light when discussed and presented as characteristic archetypical principles in key regions in Asia. Terms used to create certain ‘patterned’ outcomes in terms of the lit environment, and with regards to ancient to modern spaces in Asia are summated as ‘dazzled, dappled and difused’ light. These three intensities or descriptive terms reflect the multivaried climatic conditioned within the Asian region, which traverse the harshness of the tropical sun to the diffused dimness of the temperate climatic sites. Under regions of the tropics, the intensity and sunpath of the tropics are orchestrated by ancient manipulator-builders such as the  case of concux temples of Angkor Wat, at the monumental scale and are discussed as organic and informal dappled sunpaths and gardens in the tropical villages and gardens of India and Malaysia. The diffused light stratagem is discussed with regards of the famous writing ‘In praise of shadows. Modern cases are discussed that represent these three forms of light and its orchestration in space.

Abstract

Recently there is an increase in interest to use art as a part of the healthcare healing process and environment. The artwork is now regularly set as a condition in design feature for hospitals. The benefits of art in hospitals and medical institutions have been confirmed by numerous studies and subjective evidence. The artwork produced can be a commission collection or a seamless development of interior design concepts. This paper attempts to compile and discuss a range of artistic works and artists that specialize in nature and abstractions of nature which have contributed to healthcare or the healing environment. The paper highlights their thoughts and ideas on the making of their concepts and the way certain techniques help achieve their artistic works. The guidelines published in a study will also be reviewed. Selecting the right artwork for a medical facility requires various thoughts and concern. This includes choosing landscapes and nature-based art, avoiding abstract art, and choosing the right colours for art. Notably, there are many benefits for patients in using beautiful wall art for hospitals and healthcare facilities. The paper reckoned that the primary goal for the patient's well-being is choosing art that can help the patient and improve the overall aesthetic quality of the space. The integration of the healing environment into medicine has taken a more holistic approach and has turned the hospital environment into a place of courage that impacts both staff and patients' well-being. Visual stimulation of nature, natural lighting, artwork, relaxing colours and therapeutic sound can greatly accelerate the therapeutic process. The paper concluded that when art is considered an integral part of hospital design, this will maximize the benefits of arts in healthcare facilities.

Abstract

A general observation on the state and condition of the ablution area at some mosques in the country has pictured the place as slippery and unsafe and not properly used and maintained.  This has led to the assumptions that the design of the place had not thoroughly considered the ergonomic factors and right anthropometric of the users which has created discomfort in positioning oneself and accessing the fixtures during the act.  The impact of the problems has never been rationalized and always overlooked particularly on how it may affect the elderly group that is has become very common and being repeated in the provision of the ablution area in other mosque’s design and development.  In consideration of the pressing issues and needs for an appropriate ablution area as part of safety and cleanliness measures at Mosque or Surau, the design of the facility must be emphasized and be based on the needs and physical abilities of the users. This particular study on the ablution area is necessary as it has uncovered salient and common problem of the current design of the place.  The methodology selected for the study was a combination of several methods.  It encompassed onsite observation on the practical use and performance of the ablution area, interview survey on users’ practical experience and design assessment focusing on the ergonomic and anthropometric considerations of the place through measured drawing method.  The results were triangulated to determine the overall performance of the present design of ablution area in facilitating spiritual obligation of the people. For the purpose, three different mosques in Kuala Nerus district namely Masjid UNiSZA (Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin), Masjid UMT (Universiti Malaysia Terengganu) and Masjid Tok Jembal were selected as case studies. The study on the 3 sites of ablution area has displayed results indicating problems generally based on the location and proximity of water faucet and seating provision at the area which apparently were not based on the right ergonomic. This has created discomfort to the users and leaving messy and slippery ground after use.

Abstract

Imperfect Film: Career, Love, Scales is a clear proof that the stigma in society towards body image and other people's expectations of women, especially on the physical appearance of the woman herself, is still very strong. How come? The diversity of tribes and cultures that this nation possesses only refers to one standard of beauty which is quite absurd, at least most men think that women’s standards are the ones who are white, have long hair, tall and slim. This research aims to identify the representation of women's struggles in the Imperfect film: Career, Love, Scales, which raises the issue of insecure/body shaming against women and also instills a message that a perfect life is to accept those imperfections, unless, one would forever live in worry and insecurity. This research method employed John Fiske's semiotic method of reality, representation and ideology which will later be built with the perception of myth through an online correspondence survey methodology regarding with representations of women's struggles in the Imperfectfilm: Career, Love, Scales. The data was collected by using film analysis, internet surfing, documentation and online survey. This present research results point out that the women’s representation of women in the Imperfect film: Career, Love, Scales depicts verbal violence, so the authors suggest that people should eliminate opinions or judgments that can hurt someone both physically and non-physically.

Abstract

The Ramayana is not only a Hindu epic, it is a symbol of truth, victory over evil, and this is the reason the main route of the epic has accepted by many countries along with India also. Many local parts of Ramayana have also recognised. Not only in literature, but the Ramayana tradition has preserved in performing art form also. Bali of Indonesia is one of the tourist attraction places for its tradition, culture, and puppetry. Besides the local version of Ramayana, through the Wayang (puppet) the Ramayana has been preserved in Bali. For thousands of years, the stories of Rama, Sita, Hanoman and Ravana have been told in Java and Bali in Indonesia, and thru Wayang (Wayang Kulit and wayang Golek) the Ramayana tradition has been performing. In the North-eastern state of India in Assam, the Ramayana tradition has been performing thru Putala Naach (puppet). The Ramayana tradition has been preserved in two different puppetry forms. In Bali, the Ramayana tradition has performed in shadow puppet (Wayang Kulit), but in Assam, the Ramayana tradition has been performing thru string puppet. Though there is a vast difference between Wayang and Putala Naach, this paper has tried to examine the relationship between them thru the stories of Ramayana, the repertoires, the puppeteers, the beginning rituals, and the musical accompaniments.

Abstract

Interior design is a of study of designers in crafting spaces that anticipate human needs and appeal to their emotions while pulling from a broad set of skills and technical knowledge. Recently, Green building development has become a worldwide popular topic in building industry. As an indispensable phase of a building project, interior decoration has an unavoidable impact on the environment and public health. Currently, there have been several green building evaluation standards for interior decoration. However, there is no specific evaluation standard, which is complied with the domestic situation of Malaysia, for green interior decoration. This study aims to develop an assessment standard for green interior decoration in the context of Malaysia. To start with, a compilations review of existing green interior building rating tools and focus group were held to filter the assessment items and to determine the basic framework of the proposed assessment standard. It applies not only on the availability of green product but also applies in term of interior spaces form, spatial layout and also in the application of furniture.

Abstract

Stylistic architectural changes that occurred during colonial era in South East Asian nations such as Malaysia and Indonesia, particularly in the 1800s had always been simplistically ‘lumped’ together as the colonial style. Using case studies of the Malay world, this paper argues, for the contrasting streams of public architecture; the modernized Malay Classical style; vs the Malayalised Colonial style; though they depict similar combinations of hybrid architectural tectonic language in buildings. This paper argues that various present writings and discourses had ‘hijacked’ the essentially evolving Malay style and had grouped these with the changes attributed to Colonial stylisations, rather than attributing them to the modernization of their own vernacular style. Using aristocratic buildings, the paper highlights cases with aim to expand the discourse on to include the evolving language of local Classical (Malay) architecture, which represent an evolvement from tradition to the Neo-Classical era of modernity. The missing discourse is characteristic of nation undergoing postcolonialism attributing to the rupture of history.  These essentially regionalized forms within the Neo-Classical era   are often mistaken as Colonial pastiche-like borrowings or ‘kitsch’ , rather than associating it within a broad local early modern vernacular which  arises local phenomena desire to modernize.

Abstract

The Gunung Padang site is one of the cultural heritages in the Cianjur area of West Java. The existence of a terraced punden building from the Megalithic era holds a lot of historical value which is very useful for public knowledge. Visualization of the site through information media is needed so that its image as cultural heritage can be better known by the public. Qualitatively, this study uses a visual communication design approach by paying attention to design elements as the formalistic aspects of pre-Iconographical. This is an initial study that describes one's own practical experience by observing various aesthetic aspects of cultural heritage objects, ranging from a point, line, field, shape, color, texture, and design principles. By conducting this pre-iconographical perspective, it will be possible to determine the appropriate media design to form the image of the Gunung Padang site as a cultural heritage. The results of this study indicate that photo books, either in print or electronically, can be chosen as a medium of information because it has the potential to build the visual perception of the reader. Photo books can also be chosen as information media that can build the image of the Gunung Padang site by examining the design principles that influence it. This study is expected to be a scientific reference for visual communication design practitioners who want to produce visual images of cultural heritage objects.

Abstract

Semiotics originates from the Greek word semeion which means "sign". According to language, a branch of science that studies the relationship of sign forms such as code, language, signals, and others. Ferdinand de Saussure introduced semiotics using the form of a sign: signified and a signifier which is atomistic. The relationship is an association between "marked" and "marked". Then, Barthes, a follower of Ferdinand de Saussure, who holds the view that a sign system that reflects the assumptions of the wider community at a certain time. According to Roland Barthes' semiology, denotation is a form of significance in the first stage, whereas connotation is the second stage. In this case denotation is more associated with closed meaning. It is like a reaction to reject the oppressive form of denotation necessity. Barthes tries to refuse, because according to him there are only connotations (Budiman, 1999: 22). Advertising is often associated with denotation and connotation through the media of promotion. Structurally, advertisements have signs, a combination of audio and visuals, have a product description and even an implied message in the ad serving. Advertising aims to promote an item or product. The advertisement that will be used as the object of study and will be analyzed is an advertisement about one of the famous body fluid replacement drink products, namely Pocari Sweat. To achieve this level of analysis, this study uses the theory of semiotics from Roland Barthes' thought. This study used a qualitative method, namely descriptive research on the semiotic analysis of Roland Berthes' thoughts in the Pocari Sweat "Sweat for Dream" ad.
