| description | This paper presents an analytical study of the
visual forms and placement of carved components
in the timber houses of Kelantan and Terengganu
which reflects its significant attributes and uses.
An analytical study on ten houses in Kelantan and
five houses in Terengganu was conducted by
visual descriptive and interpretative analyses on
15 sets of reports and carving measured drawings
of the houses. Data from the drawings was
triangulated and validated with interpretations
from the prominent woodcarvers on art and crafts
of woodcarving, and supported by literatures of
Malay woodcarving. The analysis revealed that
several types of carved components with
distinctive features including wall, door and
window ventilation panels, railings, roof gable end
and gate panels were fitted in harmonious
relationship with the architectural components
within the house fabrics. The placement of these
components with specific carving motif, shape,
size and layout in the houses reflects certain
orders and regional identity of the Kelantan and
Terengganu traditional houses. |
