The Centre was set up for the sole purpose of conducting research towards a better understanding of the factors influencing the relationship between built form and the many cultures of the Malay World. Much of the planning of cities and settlements in this part of the world were based primarily on Western planning concepts from the early modernist movements during the early part of the twentieth century. These planning concepts were rooted in the idea of progressivism which is premised on the notion that there would eventually exist a common global culture amongst all the inhabitants of the world. These final years of the twentieth century has seen the inevitable fact that although there exist some similarities amongst the various cultures of the modern world, each culture still holds strongly to some form of traditional belief system.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">This realization brought about the idea that the planning of settlements must take into account the peculiarities of certain race and culture. The heritage of built environment in the Malay World holds many keys to the better understanding of eternal design principles and lessons of crucial use to the present concerns of buildings and cities.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">OBJECTIVES<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Documentation of buildings and aspects of the built environment for the purpose of understanding the forces that influence their designs.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Analysis of the historical data for the purpose of adaptation and assimilation of the past built environment heritage that are valid in the context of cultural continuity.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Educating the public about the importance of understanding the built environment heritage from the perspective of its potential positive development.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">CONTACT US<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">For further information, please contact:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Ar NORASLINDA BINTI ABDUL RAHMAN<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Centre for the Study of Built Environment in the Malay World (KALAM),<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"> Faculty of Built Environment,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"> Universiti Teknologi Malaysia,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"> 81310 UTM Skudai,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"> Johor Darul Ta\u2019zim, Malaysia<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><em>Tel:<\/em> +6-07-555 7349<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"> <em>Fax:<\/em> +6-07-556 6155<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"> <em>Email<\/em>:noraslinda.ar@utm.my<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kalamutm.my\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/kalamutm.my\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INTRODUCTION The Centre was set up in June 1996 on the foundation of numerous intricate measured drawing works done by the students of the Department of Architecture out of concern for the rapid disintegration and elimination of Malaysia &#8216;s architectural heritage.
