Transcript of Design Guidelines - Trraditional and Cultural Refrences
A GUIDELINE FOR DESIGN CONCEPT WITH
REFRENCES TO VERNACULAR AND IN CONTEXT WITH LOCAL TRADITION AND
PLACE
THE METHODOLOGY BASED ON THREE COMPONENTS
REFERENCE KRAFT, COSTUME AND ARTIFACTS
ENVIRONMENT AND TRADITION
PROCESSABSTRACT AND LITERAL
SELECTION
CONTEXTBUILT ENVIRONMENT AND NATURE
AND CULTURE
Traditional references in design.
Tourism attraction for a destination is based amongst others on the character and special uniqueness of the
experience sought by visitors in their travels. They range through all the human senses of sight, sounds smell, texture, taste and their combinations. These are all presented within the context of the environment and their cultural, social and historical sense of the place.Sensitivity to these factors and making connections to
enhance these qualities are important in the development of facilities especially in design and
architecture of the built environment.

The vernacular is a filtration of many generations of slow evolution of form that fit to its ethnic origins, culture and function, a uniqueness of place. However the rapid
change in development and need to address new roles for buildings and structures previously unknown to the
community require a conscious creation in design which still reflects the same
uniqueness of place.
REFERENCE METHODMeaning and Use
The tools and devices in making traditional
references in design is either in abstract or by direct representation.
Direct or literal reference to the form. Motif used is the kain dastar, layang layang dan sarempak from Kota Belud

Reinterpretation of form using new material such as the “sand blast” to granite. Motif “meeting Place”
Interior decoration are integral to the objective where the references and context is extended to details

Motif extraction New pattern abstract
CONTEXTPlace and Time

meaning and use of a reference material will
change when it is chosen and mixed or
extended for a new use

Malayu House Bamboo House dusun
Bajau Lotud Bajau

MORPHOLOGI

Exploration in search of hierarchy of form to elements through the use of patterns, scale and complexity from traditional embroidery.
The abstraction of traditional elements can yield new forms which are whilst new will still retain the connection to the vernacular.
