Woodcarving can be influenced by numerous aspects, including religions and beliefs, which may be comprised of the selections of motifs and also wood-carving panels. In Johor, Malay is one of the major ethnic groups and is considered the majority of the state's population, contributing to the significant heritage, including architecture. Traditional Malay houses in Johor have in-stilled woodcarving into some placements of the houses, including windows on jerejak panels. This paper aims to identify the typology of woodcarvings panels and the percentage of usage among the panels found in Johor Malay houses to identify its influence. 72 Johor traditional Malay houses with distinctive woodcarvings were selected to do inventory, photographed, and analyzed. Interviews were conducted while the samples taken were discussed and verified by woodcarving experts. Results show five-piece panels take the highest percentage while six-piece panels come in second in the overall statistic where it is concluded that the Pillars of Islam/Rukun Islam and Pillars of Faith/Rukun Iman have been the influence on the findings. The findings show that the Islamic religion is the most significant influence contributing to the justification of choice. This study can bring recognition to Johor woodcarvings and contribute valuable guides for woodcarvers to apply these panel typologies to their future works to sustain and cherish the Johor houses' wood-carving identity

Morocco is living in a sustainable transition that touches all the fields. The urban transition seems to take a quick turn, especially after 2014, with the establishment of various eco-cities research projects, eco-neighborhoods, and the construction of green cities such as Benguerir, Bouskoura, and Ze-nata. This paper describes some research into sustainability, the parameters behind green urbanism, and the transition effects. It also explains the Moroc-can urbanism transition witnessed after colonization and the sustainability introduction to the country. This research compares two green cities, Benguerir in the south and Zenata on the Atlantic coast. Both cities are constructed by publicly owned and funded companies, providing a common ground for comparison. This paper analyses sustainability parameters target-ed by the study cases.

Malaysia is the world's 43rd most populous country comprising multi-ethnic and multicultural societies. About half the population is ethnically Malay, with minorities of Chinese, Indians, and indigenous peoples. From this number, Chinese Muslims are minorities in Malaysia, and only 2 per cent of ethnic Chinese are Muslims. Nevertheless, there is a growing trend of accommodating Chinese cultural elements in Islamic preaching in Malaysia. Due to this recent emergence of Chinese Muslim cultural identities, Chinese cultural symbols and Islamic messages are combined to produce a new notion in Malaysian society that 'Chineseness' and Islam are compatible. For that reason, the Chinese Muslim association and dakwah movement in Malaysia, like MACMA (Malaysia Chinese Muslim Association), promulgate a cultural dakwah approach aiming to universalize Islam to spread the Islamic messages and invite non-Muslims to get closer to the Islamic faith. One of the approaches is building Chinese-style mosques throughout Malaysia as a symbol of preaching Islam through Chinese cultural signs and practices. However, no comprehensive studies have elucidated how mosques patronized by the MACMA universalize Islam for Muslims and non-Muslims. Therefore, this paper aims to identify and analyze how MACMA Islamic ideology influences the architectural design elements found in the MACMA mosques as a symbol of cultural dakwah to propagate and teach the values of Islam. This study used the hermeneutic method through the interpretivism paradigm. The two indicators of mosques, form-making, and spatial elements, act as a sign of Islamic values to propagate religious tolerance. The findings indicate how Islamic values and ideology involving the practising of Islah, Ikram, and Ihsan are translated into Mosque architectural elements as a symbol of dakwah to display communal-friendly mosque design. Based on these findings, this study will outline the best mosque design guidelines for designers that can function as a religious sign and symbol for transnational dimensions of cultural dakwah towards unity, equality, and spiritual rejuvenation.

This research paper aims to examine the architectural design and the publicness of a state mosque in Malaysia while taking into consideration the social inclusiveness and national identity among religious buildings within the compound and beyond the framework of religion. The research objective is to evaluate the architectural design elements in a mosque on publicness. The methodology used in this research is by reviewing literature and evaluating the Negeri Sembilan State Mosque; Seremban Mosque, as a case study of its social publicness. The finding from the research concludes that the state mosque can do more to achieve inclusivity and friendliness through architectural design elements such as perception, permeability, and territoriality of the building in relation to its context and religious adherents, as well as the larger Malaysian population. Furthermore, the significance of the finding identified that religion and religious buildings play a crucial role in sustaining unity and harmony among all ethnicity in a community with such a diverse society in order to promote further the manifestation of social inclusiveness and national unity among religious buildings and diminish the conflict in race and religion.

Lakmah Mosque, which is known as Aḥmad Hādī Al-Yāmani Mosque, is consid-ered one of the distinctive Yemeni mosques that reflects the shape of small cubical mosques in the Yemeni villages. This mosque is distinguished by its distinctive decorations and inscriptions. The research aims to shed light on the personality of the founder of the mosque, as he was one of the important individuals in the history of Rīmah governorate. In addition, the research sheds light on the mosque's style and design. The importance of the research lies in documenting this mosque, its artistic decorations, and its distinctive inscriptions recorded in the magnificent Ṯūluṯ script with its historical information and important cultural content. It also represents the publication for the first time of this mosque, which no one has studied before. The researcher followed the descriptive, analytical and inductive approach through several historical documents and endowment papers. The researcher reached several results, including knowledge of the date of the building of the mosque and knowing the founder's name, and his cultural and historical status, as he is considered one of the prominent political persons in the history of Rīmah governorate during the Ottoman era. The study also focused on the architectural style of the mosque and knowing its architectural origins. The researcher studied the wonderful inscriptions that decorate the ceiling of the mosque. These inscriptions provided us with much important historical information.

Sustainable architecture seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, development space and the ecosystem at large. It adopts a conscious approach to energy and ecological conservation in designing the built environment. This conscious process involves the embodiment of phenomenology as embedded in the critical regionalism approach that explains 'human experiences as being' in the built environment. In this sense, the aesthetics of sustainable architecture may be accomplished when three factors (the visual perception of space, spatial, experiential perceptions, and the cognition of the natural environment) are incorporated together. This paper aims to identify and unveil how the critical regionalism approach contributes to sustainable architectural design based upon five determinants - placemaking, genius loci, the phenomenology of senses, climatic and environment responsiveness, and communal and humanity tectonic. In Malaysia, the critical regionalism approach is not widely explored and defined due to a lack of value application and awareness amongst local designers in public building design. Hence, it resulted in public building design like Mosque that emphasizes only superficial aesthetics, which lacks importance on the user's needs. The study used the hermeneutic method through the interpretivism paradigm to understand this. As a case study, the two indicators of architectural elements, form making and spatial elements of mosque buildings, are analyzed to document the value of critical Regionalism that embraces adaptability, reinterpretation and realization of reality. This study will benefit many parties in providing recommendations for mosque design, referring to the critical regionalism approach toward sustainable architecture. This critical regionalism approach can foster the formation of a national identity architecture that can contribute to the unity of society and strengthen the sentiment of nationalism in the present Muslim and multi-racial society. In addition, by having a better-quality design, the built form can readily be accepted and adopted in terms of functions for the benefit of the entire community.

The development of Palembang city is progressing rapidly while traditional limas houses are increasingly rare. As a result, the local context regarding the rules for building limas has become rare and not documented. This is unfortunate considering that limas have architectural and cultural records related to the history of Palembang City, starting from the Austronesian, Hindu-Buddhist, and Taoist to the Islamic period. This study seeks to find the rules of horizontal proportion used in the construction of limas and their relation with the cultural values of society. Researchers explored the dulang,a circular container that holds plates for serving food to eight people, as the base module that builds the floor area of a limas. Data were collected from 50 limas in Palembang City, consisting of 20 four-bengkilas limas (4BL) and 30 three-bengkilas limas (3BL). The results show that 3BL is generally made with four dulang on the front and seven dulang on the side. In comparison, 4BL are built with five dulang on the semi-public side of the bengkilas, three dulang on the back, and seven dulang on the side. Furthermore, the researcher shows that this proportion rule is changed across time in line with the smaller house size. This change signifies the decline of collectivism from a concrete principle to a merely symbolic one. This decline is associated with an increase in the individual's economy and standard of living. This research has implications for efforts to standardize the Palembang limas house model for conserving the city's cultural heritage.

The courtyard lost its role in contemporary Egyptian architecture. Despite its importance in the family social life, the western model of the villa and townhouse is adopted. The author argues that presenting the courtyard as a climatic solution only is inaccurate in introducing the courtyard to local urbanism. The study adopted qualitative and quantitative approaches, collecting historic courtyards houses in Cairo analyzing their courtyard form, geometry, and introductory spatial sequences. Related literature was reviewed for collecting data and introducing criteria. The study sample analysis proved the strong relationship between the spatial territoriality, the house transition zone, the public right to assert the order of their built environment (through collective deliberation) and other forces, which are of great importance to the courtyard role and meanings.
