In contemporary housing design, this cultural value has been ignored. Contemporary design has adapted
quickly to global trends and houses have gradually lost their cultural identity (GhaffarianHoseini & Dahlan, 2012; Lim,
2001). Nevertheless, traditional housing culture persists in people’s behavior and thoughts. Therefore, there is currently a
pressing need to rebuild cultural identity in housing for cultural sustainability. This study aimed to analyze the traditional
culture which was maintained, then transformed and disappeared in housing design through the quantitative survey and
explore the cultural identity of Malaysian housing as a result. A quantitative survey was distributed to mothers of 129
married households living in a metropolitan area of Kuala Lumpur in August 2019. As a result, it was found that hosting
guest was important even though the designated space (serambi) was disappeared. The LD/K layout, separating kitchen
from living and dining area was philosophical and practical culture, still strong among older generation, but weakened
among younger generation. To accommodate the traditional habit of diverse household work, wet kitchen, utility space for
washing machine & drying, and outdoor space were needed to design carefully. When applied to future housing design,
the findings will contribute to enhancing quality of life by strengthening residents’ sense of place and social cohesion and
by providing a culturally inherent design that eases the effects of globalization. |
