| description | In Malaysian villages, traditional Malay houses are the most common type of housing.
One of the main features of these traditional houses, which are located in hot and humid
areas of Malaysia, is an open ground floor created by using pilotis, which raises the first floor
of the house, leaving the ground floor open (Fig. 1). Thus, a shaded free space with good air
circulation is obtained, which can be used by residents and their neighbors for working and
leisure activities.
These traditional Malay houses are not suitable for cities
because the availability of land in urban areas is limited.
Although high-rise residential buildings accommodate a
large number of residents in a limited area, and the airflow
on the higher floors of these buildings is adequate, the fact
that sufficient airflow cannot be expected near the ground
floor must be taken into consideration. |
