Heritage Studies are a fundamental component of the Year 3 curriculum for the Bachelor of Science (Architectural Studies) at the Department of Architecture, Kulliyyah of Architecture & Environmental Design, International Islamic University Malaysia. These courses aim to educate students on the methods used to document architectural heritage, while also introducing them to the rich history of Muslim civilization and conservation practices. The Heritage Studies program comprises two parts: BAAR 3201 Heritage Studies 1 in Semester 1, which focuses on fieldwork and studio activities, and BAAR 3204 Heritage Studies 2 in Semester 2, which emphasizes studio work and culminates in an exhibition. Throughout these courses, students engage in essential tasks such as researching, measuring, recording, and analysing the architectural aspects of selected buildings with significant Islamic heritage. This hands-on approach enables students to gain a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural significance of these structures.
The culmination of the Heritage Studies program is the BAAR 3204 Heritage Studies 2 exhibition, which serves as an opportunity to showcase the students’ work. This year, the Department of Architecture proudly presents the 23rd Architectural Heritage Studies Exhibition with the theme, ‘Theological Embarkment of the Islamic Religious Lifestyle through Architecture in the Malay Archipelago Settings,’ or ‘TERAS’. The exhibition will feature three remarkable heritage timber masjids: Masjid Tinggi Bagan Serai in Perak, Masjid Lama Kampung Tuan in Chukai, Terengganu, and Masjid Wadi Al-Hussein in Narathiwat, Thailand. These architectural gems represent the essence of Islamic religious lifestyle in the Malay Archipelago, and their display will provide valuable insights into their historical context and architectural significance.
