Book
House as interplay between Culture, Environment and Technology
(2013)
Abstract
This book is a product of several academic research projects conducted through different courses from undergraduate to postgraduate levels by the students of the department of architecture in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. As a supervisor, I found several topics of research by my students to have potential to be published as they provided some interesting and context-specific analysis. As a result, I converted selected reports to book chapters. It was not easy to compress a big report to relatively smaller chapters without sacrificing the essence of the project. However, I think a collective effort from authors and reviewers made it possible. The focus of these research projects was housing. However, it chose three major aspects related to housing. Culture plays an intangible role in housing, environmental aspects play a relatively tangible role while technology always has an impact on the built-form and the services. The book chapters indicated the role of these variables in the different context and in different degrees in a way that a wide range of readers would find it interesting and useful.
