CULTURAL CONSERVATION ON BUILDINGS
A stretch of stalls in the market |
The market features several stretches of stalls arrange symmetrically
around a square center
|
 |
The structure of
the market is supported by columns made of Borneo Ironwood,
which is typical in
the architecture traditional houses.
|
The roofs mimic the roofs of traditional kadazan /dusun houses. |
Usually, the traditional houses have thatched roof made
of sago tree leaves.
However, due to practical reasons, the material is
substituted with wood.
|
 |
Due to the equatorial climate, the ceiling
features traditional ventilation aside from being decorative.
These “holes” on the sides of the ceiling enables hot air to rise and escape, making the place cooler. The same design is applied on traditional kadazan/dusun houses. |
