Abstract
Since the ancient times, architects have relied on mathematical principles such as symmetry, proportion, geometry, Fibonacci, and golden section in designing buildings, monuments, and mosques. As such, the golden section which has aesthetically pleasing properties has been found to exist in the proportion of overall plan of Parthenon and Great Mosque of Kairouan. In this study, we investigate the existence of golden section element in the traditional Malay architecture. In order to obtain the element, the geometrical analysis is conducted based on building measurements and observations. The results show that the element of the golden section exists in some parts of the traditional Malay architecture.
