Malay traditional costume has a historical value that need to be preserved well for the future generations. The aim of the study is to innovate an existing storage system to a new design that will save space in the storage room. Data is collected via internet research and other reliable sources to gain as much information about the storage system. Face-to-face interview session with Department of Museums Malaysia was conducted with experienced staff member in managing the storage system for the textile collections. At the same time, visual analysis was conducted by making observations on the existing storage system availablein museum and in the market. The data obtained was analyzed to be included in the stage of designing a product. The selection of materials and shape were also considered in order to avoid the collection being damage and deteriorate. Enamel metal was proposed to be used as a material for structure of the storage system. Other than that,polyethene foam, acid-free paper and metal rod also used for this new design of storage system.</p>2022-12-29T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2022 https://journals.iium.edu.my/kaed/index.php/dij/article/view/748COMPORT : REDEVELOPMENT OF KUALA BESUT TERMINAL AS COMMUNITY HUB IN TERENGGANU2022-12-28T22:22:48+08:00Abdussalam Khalibdesignideals@iium.edu.myZeenat Begam Yusofzeensoni@iium.edu.my<p>Besut district located in the state of Terengganu on the East coast of Peninsula Malaysia which is rich in cultural heritage and various tourist attractions. However, the district's tourism sector has yet to reach its development potential. The town, Kuala Besut, is just a tourist route for those who want to get to Perhentian island. Tourists bypassed the town's innate attractions. From the survey, three issues were identified. The first issue is the lackadaisical state of the boat terminal facilities, such as restaurants, seating areas, toilets, and parking. The second issue is the seasonal business, where vendors at the terminal can only operate during the dry season. The third issue is the need for more opportunities to promote the art and cultural products of Kuala Besut at the tourist prong jetty. Therefore, the thesis aims to redevelop Kuala Besut terminal, which can solve all three issues architecturally. The objective of the study is to design appropriate terminal facilities, spaces for vendors and spaces for art and cultural products promotion. The research methodology used for this study is the qualitative method using literature reviews, case studies and interviews for brief formulation and site studies for context. The study's findings create an architectural solution for the three issues and help to boost Kuala Besut's local economy and tourism industry.</p>2022-12-29T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2022 https://journals.iium.edu.my/kaed/index.php/dij/article/view/749RECONFIGURING HOME SPACES: AN EXPLORATION OF THE SPATIAL DIMENSION OF LOW-INCOME HOUSING FROM THE DWELLERS’ PERSPECTIVE2022-12-28T22:31:41+08:00Ahmad Shuib Yahya ashuib2@live.utm.myMohd Hamdan Ahmaddesignideals@iium.edu.myAsan Ali Golam Hassandesignideals@iium.edu.myPau Chung Lengdesignideals@iium.edu.my<p>Providing quality housing has been a major agenda item in the effort to achieve a decent standard of living for all Malaysians by 2030. However, previous housing schemes especially for low-income people have shown no signs of further innovation in improving the quality of domestic space based on the findings of previous studies which continue to discuss the suitability of space design with the social patterns of dwellers. This article investigated the underlying knowledge from the perspective of the dwellers through the exploration of the spatial dimension. Using the creative method, this study processed the information from the dwellers on how the domestic activities were transferred to the dreamhouse model and revealed how the spatial order can be reconfigured creatively by the designer. This research clearly illuminated the underlying knowledge of spatial characteristics based on low-income opinions.</p>2022-12-29T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2022 https://journals.iium.edu.my/kaed/index.php/dij/article/view/750LOCAL CONCEPT FOR TOURISM DEVELOPMENT OF THE NGABATATA WATERFALL AREA, EAST NUSA TENGGARA, INDONESIA2022-12-28T22:40:25+08:00Risal Rasyidwork.risalrasyid@gmail.comMila Karmilahmila.k@unissula.ac.id<p>Ngabatata Waterfall is famously regarded as a natural tourist attraction with a unique natural charm, despite the inevitable problems to be solved in optimizing the potential of this waterfall. The problems include difficulty to access the location through revamped roads, absence of signage and entrance gates, and unavailability of tourist facilities such as toilets, camping grounds, and other tourist supporting facilities. Therefore, this study aims to propose a development concept for the Ngabatata waterfall based on local characteristics to reinforce the image of this area. This study applied a qualitative method to identify the potential and problems of the area by conducting descriptive analysis and formulating the concept and design of the Ngabatata waterfall area. The output of this research includes the development concept of Ngabatata waterfall as a Tourism Triangle based on nature and local culture in the Heart of Flores Island.</p>2022-12-29T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2022 https://journals.iium.edu.my/kaed/index.php/dij/article/view/751PLACEMAKING : A DECENT NEW HOME FOR THE INTERNALLY DISPLACED SYRIANS AT BUFFER ZONE, SYRIA2022-12-28T22:44:17+08:00Reham Baydounrehambaydoun.arch@gmail.comAbdul Razak Sapianarazaks@iium.edu.my<p>Displacement is a global phenomenon; the causes of displacement vary between violence and natural disasters. Syria remains the world’s largest refugee crisis, having multi-displacement due to several effects such as armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violations of human rights, or natural or human-made disasters, especially for the IDSP who moved to the North. This research presents a set of speculations for making a decent new home for internally displaced Syrian people forced to flee to North Syria (IDSP). Under the theme of placemaking, this study emphasizes the need to consider the limited available means to survive a decent life under the harsh weather of summer and winter. The other major problem is that the IDSP is economically handicapped. The thesis project aims to propose a prototype decent new home for the IDSP where they can self-sustain by having a proper home to work, live in, and socialize. The project aims to provide passive earth-sheltered houses with vegetable gardens, communal co-op, and seasonal shared farmland, besides having main facilities of the communal masjid with a rescue area and marketplace. This project highlights the suitability of replacing indecent homes with proper decent and passive homes by applying the strategy of earth-sheltered architecture and underground structure to preserve the house heat and coolness throughout the year, which can be a perfect solution for IDP worldwide.</p>2022-12-29T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2022 https://journals.iium.edu.my/kaed/index.php/dij/article/view/752ONLINE LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR INTEGRATED MULTIDISCIPLINARY COURSE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC2022-12-28T22:50:30+08:00Fadzli Irwan Bahrudinfadzliirwan@iium.edu.myAsiah Abdul Rahimarasiah@iium.edu.myNur Ulfah Awatif Umairah Alias Aliasumairahalias@iium.edu.my<p>Integrated Multidisciplinary Project at the Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design (KAED), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), generally requires students to solve relevant real problems related to the built environment. The course presents a short-term architectural development project to a cohort of students from various programmes of the Built Environment to tackle these challenges with innovative and creative solutions. The course is conducted annually as a face-to-face workshop-based activity, but during the Movement Control Order (MCO) for COVID-19, the course runs online. Transitioning to online learning can be challenging for architecture and design students as the lack of a physical studio environment limits intensive design discussion. The course requires students to work in groups to produce the design solutions for the multidisciplinary project. Therefore, this paper investigates online studios' learning experiences and challenges for Integrated Multidisciplinary Projects during the COVID-19 pandemic. A qualitative method of research was adopted for the short study. The experiences were investigated by reviewing students works and conducting a semi-structured interview with the project leaders. The findings of the study point to a range of difficulties and advantages of online studio sessions. The overall online students' performance, although positive, was lacking in physical cues. The online interaction technical limitations also hindered in-depth practical design discussion. Students expressed satisfaction with their learning experience but highlighted the need for physical interactions. Though the online studio was convenient, the students expressed the need for more interactive, stimulating, and efficient design discussions where the physical interaction would ease the division of tasks and the overall project management.</p>2022-12-29T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2022 https://journals.iium.edu.my/kaed/index.php/dij/article/view/753REVEALING THE FITRAH OF THE GARDEN OF KNOWLEDGE AND VIRTUE2022-12-28T22:54:08+08:00Nur Allysa Md Farisdesignideals@iium.edu.myJasasikin Ab Sanijasasikin@iium.edu.myFadzli Irwan Bahrudinfadzliirwan@iium.edu.mySufian Hamatsufian@iium.edu.myAzrin Mohd.
