“…They maintained the kin and neighbourly relations through sharing resources, information, childcare and work for preparing feast (Ong, 1990, p. 261). Malay women also gained status in the communities through the ceremonial events such as weddings where they networked, shared mutual labour relations and became the managers or hostesses (Kipp, 1995(Kipp, , p. 1053.…”

“…Besides, the traditional women whose husbands take up more than one wife became independent and own up to the role of income providers. A study of women in Kelantan (east coast of Malaysia) shows that women are renowned for their "visibility" particularly in the trade environment (Kipp, 1995), as opposed to the traditional role of staying at home. Other than the advantage of the bilateral inheritance customs that allow these women to own and manage land on their own, they also earn income from trade that gives them increased autonomy within their families and husbands (Kipp, 1995(Kipp, , p. 1053.…”

Although traditional Malay women's dependencies vary, in general they still rely on their male relatives to provide them with the safest environment as it is a basic custom that the men's role is to guard their sister's, wife's and daughter's virtue (Ong, 1990, p. 261).…”

<p>Being of one of the major aboriginal groups in Malaysia, the Muslim Malay women differ socio culturally from women of other religious and cultural background. Malay women have particular spatial requirements especially within the domestic environment. However, these requirements are rarely considered when it comes to the design of modern urban living environments. Terrace housing is the dominant form of urban housing in Malaysia. Since the 1970s, it has catered to the mass housing needs of ‘rural-to-urban’ migrants. Associated with the lack of considerations for traditional, cultural and religious aspects, the design of terrace housing fails in terms of intimacy, privacy and safety for Malay women as well as environmental performance and adaptability. The traditional rural Malay houses evolved in response to the unique cultural needs of the Malay women and her family and offers solutions for contemporary urban housing for Malay families. As contextually appropriate housing solution, their spatial organization and construction system can inform how best to design for the occupants and the environment. The research studies the Malay women, traditional housing environments and the shortcomings of terrace housing. The thesis aim is to identify an architectural solution to the current issues in Malaysian terrace housing. The study proposes a flexible prefabricated construction method, modular screen-wall panelling and a timber flooring system as a design solution to the socio cultural and religious needs of the Malay women and her family.</p>
