One of the treasured heritages of Perak is the traditional house of Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak (RLBP). With the current wave of rapid development and the other contributing factors, RLBP is threatened with extinction. Besides, the lack of research and documentation effort has made this threat worsen. The objective of this research is to analyze the typology and classify the style of RLBP throughout the state of Perak. The research is conducted using the on-site field survey where the data was collected through observation. An overall of 260 RLBP houses has been analyzed using typological analysis. The research findings have identified an overall of 5 styles of RLBP, namely, Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak Gaya Utara (RLBPGU), Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak Gaya Perak (RLBPGP), Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak Gaya Kembar (RLBPAK), Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak Agam (RLBPA) and Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak Gaya Selatan (RLBPGS). The findings of this research contribute towards the understanding of identity and the enhancement of architectural theory from the perspective of architectural typology and evolution of the traditional Malay house architecture, especially in Perak.

This paper explores the methodology for the production and integration of Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) into the museum management system of the Emirate of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE). The historic Bait Al Naboodah Museum is documented as a pilot study using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) technology. The scanning and modelling processes are explained in a seven-stage workflow: preliminary data acquisition, site surveying and terrestrial laser scanning, processing of the captured cloud point data, post-processing and modelling, quality control, final delivery of the digital model, and its validation. The architectural elements and details of Bait Al Naboodah have been reconstructed in a multilayered 3D digital model, and its accuracy has been tested. This HBIM model has been conceived as the basis of a shared inter-institutional platform for the Museum's management.

Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak (RLBP) is one of the traditional Malay houses of Perak that can be seen in Perak Tengah. Perak Tengah is one of the regions in Perak with a rich collection of historical remnants such as traditional houses, tombs, and arts and crafts. The cultural heritage value it has is highly potential to be highlighted that can help boost the area's rural tourism. However, the lack of heritage interpretation due to limited research has disabled the effort to promote the rural heritage of Perak Tengah. Therefore, this research aims to understand and interpret the roof decorative architectural components of one of the traditional Malay houses of Perak, which is the RLBP, as part of the tangible heritage of Perak Tengah. Data collection was conducted using multiple case studies. A total of 20 roof decorative architectural components of RLBP have been analysed in the data analysis. The findings of this research contribute toward establishing the character and identity of the decorative architectural components of the RLBP as one of the tangible heritage values of Perak Tengah, thus enhancing the heritage interpretation of the area.

Adaptive reuse can help increase operating efficiency, and "green adaptive reuse" is the best option for historical buildings. There are no specific important environmental elements in the Malaysia Green Building Index (GBI) that are catered for, particularly for the reuse of historical buildings in the Malaysian setting. There is a vital need to identify certain essential environmental aspects that can be used to develop green features in Malaysia's adaptive reuse projects. This study examines the perspectives of adaptive reuse practitioners who have worked on historical building adaptive reuse projects through semi-structured interviews. These findings may assist GBI Malaysia in strengthening by identifying the fundamental environmental aspects for green adaptive reuse and classifying and sorting the elements into major categories in a meaningful sequence compatible with historical connections, sustainable and city planning knowledge.

Building Information and Modelling (BIM) is a technology that allows Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) professionals to digitally design, test, construct and manage the infrastructure. BIM in construction projects has not been fully implemented, due to lack of effective strategy in the implementation of BIM. AEC industries struggles to implement BIM because of the absence of a Real-World BIM sample and BIM framework. This research aims to navigate AEC professionals to implement BIM with respect to structural discipline and this paper will also help to understand the coordination between other disciplines where one discipline model is superimposed on another discipline model. This paper will also help to understand different global BIM standards and the most efficient and effective BIM tools used all over the world. AEC professionals need assistance in the form of a framework which would provide a road map to process and implement BIM. Thus, the framework provided in the paper expected to increase BIM implementation and eventually widen the usage of BIM.
