Assessing aesthetics preferences of Malay wood carved panels

Malay wood carvings are seen as man’s spontaneous reaction towards his environment when the availability of local material was used to achieve aesthetics value with functional natural ventilation. Thus, a study of wood carvings of the Malay vernacular houses should have equal concern for both issues...
