1. What is contextual and vernacular architecture? And how is it applied in Belum Rainforest Resort?
• Contexual
• Each building orientated according to micoclimate
• To utilize light and wind
• Vernacular
• Adapting methods of orang asli
• To achieve maximum ventilation

4. In terms of contextual climate, what materials are considered to be sustainable and what can they do to aid in
achieving thermal comfort?
• What is sustainable material?
• Locally produced / sourced
• Transport cost + environmental impact
• Recyclability
• Waste and pollution generated
• Toxic emmisions
4. In terms of contextual climate, what materials are considered to be sustainable and what can they do to aid in
achieving thermal comfort?
4. In terms of contextual climate, what materials are considered to be sustainable and what can they do to aid in
achieving thermal comfort?
• Main ones:
• Timber
• Bamboo
• Rammed earth
• Salvaged bricks
4. In terms of contextual climate, what materials are considered to be sustainable and what can they do to aid in
achieving thermal comfort?
• Bamboo
• Resisting water and lightweight
• Save cost from coating
• Save cost from handling because easy to cut
4. In terms of contextual climate, what materials are considered to be sustainable and what can they do to aid in
achieving thermal comfort?
• Salvaged Bricks
• Save cost
• Greenhouse gases from transportation are reduced
• Harmful gases and waste are produced when making new bricks
4. In terms of contextual climate, what materials are considered to be sustainable and what can they do to aid in
achieving thermal comfort?
• Rammed earth
• Thermal mass
• Absorbs heat well
• Blocking large amount of heat from sunlight
4. In terms of contextual climate, what materials are considered to be sustainable and what can they do to aid in
achieving thermal comfort?
• Concrete
• High thermal mass
• Decrease amount of heat gain
• Grow vines on concrete will reduce heat gain
• It reduces solar heat gain
• Slowing down the building heating process
4. In terms of contextual climate, what materials are considered to be sustainable and what can they do to aid in
achieving thermal comfort?
• Timber
• Thermal insulator
• Has empty cell walls which consists of little air that reduce heat transfer
• Many timber are used so heat is hard to penetrate through them
