Description
The timber house in Malaysia is an endangered species in today's changing landscape. Its habitat, the traditional kampong, is steadily being wiped out. In a project to rescue several endangered timber Malay houses, the authors initiated the "house moving project" in the late 1980s. These houses now form the nucleus of the Malay Kampong House Museum at the Forest Research Institute Malaysia in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur. The authors have written an invaluable manual on repairing, restoring and translocating the traditional Malay house. - from Amzon
