Ratio determination of solids and voids for traditional Malay carvings: a preparation for environmental performance

Carvings in forms of openings, roof ends and walls have been incorporated as aesthetic and climatic element in the Malay traditional buildings. Determining the ratio of solids and voids on carvings elements is seen as an essential step to gain insight on the performance of carvings as a shading dev...
