This proposal develops the typology of the communal roof while referencing Malay culture.
The pitched roof is an abstraction of the iconic Malay roof form as exemplified by the bumbung panjang house.
The diamond-shaped surface articulation of the roof is a function of the underlying diagrid structure while the thin structural columns that support it reference the delicate stilts of the traditional Malay house.
