Résumé (en anglais)

In our haste to embrace everything that is modern or progressive and which may appear convenient and advanced, we sometimes forget and discard previous knowledge or technologies and practices that were very suitable and sustainable to the circumstances of where we live. Although some old or traditional architectural practices may appear outdated, that is sometimes because we have also forgotten the overall wisdom that came with such traditions, yet the modern designs and technologies that replaced them have not fully solved present living problems, while even creating new unsustainable ones - increasing urban sprawl, increased air-conditioning use etc. This paper examines the virtues and values of traditional architectural designs and practices in the Malay Archipelago or the Nusantara, especially Malaysia, for modern reflection.
