Evaluating the impact of vernacular façade design on indoor thermal performance in Malaysia’s modern masjids

Accessing buildings for evaluation on architectural concerns are raised as some designers create the call to revive indigenous architecture when a trend of adopting foreign or international architectural style is widely spreading. The quests for cultural identity in Malaysia towards sustainable cont...
