LATARBELAKANG

Projek Galeri Glulam ini dibina di atas tanah milik Lembaga Perindustrian Kayu Malaysia (MTIB) dengan lokasi yang strategik di pertengahan laluan utama industri antarabangsa dengan keluasan 4.9 ekar di Jalan Tampoi, Johor. Projek ini telah mendapat pengiktirafan daripada Malaysia Book of Rercords pada 15 Mac 2012 kerana menggunakan glue-laminated timber (Glulam) sebagai bahan struktur menanggung beban melebihi 80 % penggunaan kayu bagi memenuhi konsep rekabentuk yang bercirikan bangunan ikonik glulam. Bangunan ini telah dirasmikan oleh YAB Tan Sri Dato Haji Muhyiddin Haji Mohd Yassin Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia pada 22 Mei 2012.

Pernahkah anda terfikir bahawa suatu hari nanti kebanyakan bangunan dan rumah di negara ini bahan binaannya berasaskan struktur gabungan pelbagai jenis kayu yang dihasilkan menerusi proses perekatan, atau dikenali sebagai 'glulam'.Penubuhan pusat promosi Perkayuan Malaysia Tebrau, yang lebih dikenali sebagai "MTIB's Iconic Timber Building" yang terletak di Tebrau, Johor Baharu mungkin menjadi titik mula perkembangan glulam di Malaysia.

Pembangunan struktur bangunan pusat ini dijangka bakal menjadi pemangkin kepada pembangunan pembinaan bangunan dan rumah yang bahan binaannya berasaskan glulam di negara ini pada masa akan datang.Ketua Pengarah Lembaga Perindustrian Kayu Malaysia (MTIB) Dr Jalaluddin Harun ketika ditemui Bernama baru-baru ini berkata sememangnya MTIB berhasrat untuk menggalakkan penggunaan glulam dalam pasaran domestik, terutama dalam sektor pembinaan dan pembuatan perabot, menerusi pusat ini.

Bangunan Pertama Guna Kayu Glulam 

Bangunan pusat perkayuan itu adalah yang pertama di dunia mempelopori penggunaan glulam hasil daripada dua jenis kayu keras di Malaysia iaitu Resak dan Keruing untuk pembinaan strukturnya.

Menurutnya kos untuk membina pusat promosi Perkayuan Malaysia Tebrau ini yang menggunakan lebih 80 peratus kayu keras adalah kira-kira RM24 juta."Ada bangunan yang kita buat menggunakan bahan kayu glulam namun ia tidak sebesar ini. Pembinaan pusat ini berasaskan bahan yang keselamatannya telah diuji," katanya.

Kayu Glulam Sangat Kuat 

"Glulam" adalah produk kayu struktur yang dihasilkan dengan proses perekatan menggunakan bahan rekatan antara satu kepingan dan kepingan lain dengan saiz tertentu.Jalaluddin berkata gabungan rekatan kayu itu, menghasilkan kayu struktur berdimensi besar dan panjang, yang bersaiz tepat serta sangat kuat.

"Kayu struktur atau pun glulam ini boleh direkabentuk sepertimana dikehendaki dan kini sudah terdapat syarikat di Malaysia yang menghasilkan kayu jenis ini," katanya. Beliau berkata ini adalah kali pertama struktur bangunan di Malaysia menggunakan kayu sebagai "load bearing structure" untuk bangunan yang tinggi.

Namun penggunaan glulam dalam pembinaan bukan lagi perkara baru di negara seperti Sweden, German dan Kanada.

Beliau berkata dengan penggunaan glulam ia ternyata lebih selamat berbanding penggunaan bahan biasa untuk mendirikan bangunan.

"Keselamatan tidak ada kompromi, semuanya telah dipastikan selamat dan kalau terjadi kebakaran atau sebagainya kayu ini akan tahan lebih lama lagi jika dibandingkan dengan besi.

"Dengan kata lain bahan yang digunakan akan membuatkannya lebih tahan lama berbanding besi kalau berlaku kebakaran", katanya. Pusat ini turut menggunakan Indeks Bangunan Hijau (GBI) yang mempraktikkan kepentingan alam semula jadi, katanya- www.mstar.com.my

TRADITIONAL SUANG LOTUD HOUSE

A traditional Suang Lotud house, consisting of a veranda, kitchen and dining area, elevated sleeping and living area and storage attic, is said to replicate the houses in the spirit world of the Suang Lotud belief system.

The Lotud traditional longhouse is a remakable form of architecture. It is in fact the most sophisticated achievement in architecture in the whole of Sabah. This is because it is made of planks (in the old days) strenuously carved with the adze (Malay: beliung) without the facility of saws! The whole house uses not a single nail (as nails were almost impossible to obtain in the old days) but clever slip-in techniques of fitting beams, as well as tying up conenctions with rattans. A unit of the longhouse consists of a sleeping area (ko'odopo'), a kitchen (ropuhan), an attic (tilud), a corridor (olot-olot) separating the walled part of the house and the common varendah (soliw). The number of poles or stilts depends on the length or the number of living units. In the Tuaran district,.

FEW traditions in South-East Asia have the antiquity and universal acceptance of betel chewing. The custom is over 2,000 years old and has survived from ancient times into the twentieth century. Its use cuts across class, sex, or age: ‘The habitual and universal solace of both sexes is the areca nut and betel…which is rarely absent from the mouth of man or woman,’ wrote the Honourable George N. Curzon, a nineteenth-century observer. Its devotees include farmers, priests, and kings, men, women, and children. The homeliness of the name belies its importance.

Three ingredients—an areca-nut, a leaf of the betel-pepper, and lime—are essential for betel chewing; others may be added depending on availability and preference. The leaf is first daubed with lime paste and topped with thin slices of the nut, then it is folded or rolled into a bite-size quid. The interaction of the ingredients during chewing produces a red-coloured saliva. ‘If a person speaks to you while he is chewing his “quid” of betel, his mouth looks as if it were full of blood,’ reflected Isabella L. Bird, an intrepid woman traveller of the nineteenth century. Most of the betel juice is spat out. The tell-tale residue looks like splotches of dried blood. Indeed, the resemblance is so close that some early European visitors thought many Asians had tuberculosis. The splotches of betel spittle are spaced consistently enough for use as measurements of time and distance in rural areas. A short time is ‘about a betel chew’ and the distance between two villages, for example, may be ‘about three chews’.

"Tantagas" Suang Lotud Borneo:

                                Mamahui Pagun 2011.

Traditional priestesses and ritual specialists, or tantagas, are nearly always women, and are skilled in memorizing the rinait, the long ritual chants and prayers that are addressed to the Lotud deities. As among other Dusunic peoples, rinait  constitute a unique genre of poetic oral literature. They consist of series of biambic lines--the first in the everyday language, the second (having the same meaning) in the ritual language. They tell of the Creation of the World, the exploits of the deities, the origins of rice, prescriptions for moral living, ritual practices and other aspects of cultural life. Recitation of "rinait" may involve loud chanting or soft whispering, and can last for hours or days, according to the context and occasion.

The tantagas constitute a female hierarchy, with the most elderly who are grandmothers having the greatest spiritual knowledge and power. Younger women learn the rinait and the rituals from older tantagas (the novice is called tantagas wagu), while the most senior one is known as tantagas lawid). In addition to her personal name, each tantagas has a ritual name which is the name of her first grandchild prefaced with the title Odun (Grandmother) - kampungpanjut.blogspot.my

In Sarawak, the dominant tribal groups are the Dayak.  There are the Iban (Sea Dayak), and the Bidayuh (Land Dayak).Tribal people live in longhouses and there are over 4,500 longhouses in Sarawak.   

There are different type of buildings that represent every major ethnic group in Sarawak: -

IBAN LONGHOUSE 

Iban mostly thrive along the coastal areas with some have made settlement inland and further up-rivers. At present day, there are quite a number of the ethnic tribe members are living in urban areas such as Kuching, Miri and Bintulu. 

The longhouse is often considered as a village by itself, with a leader called Tuai Rumah, often elected by the majority of the tribe members. That fact itself is small paradox to the common practice of certain countries or kingdoms which the leadership thrones are passed from one of similar descendant to another. In an Iban longhouse, the leader is elected based on merits, hence the progenies of the previous chief will not necessarily be taking up the vacant position.

PERAK HOUSE

Various traditional houses can be identified in Peninsular Malaysia. They are classified mainly by their roof shapes. The basic houseforms are the bumbung panjang, bumbung lima, bumbung perak and bumbung limas.

The most common houseform is the bumbung panjang, characterised by a long gable roof. The bumbung panjang houses are the oldest identified in Peninsular Malaysia, many of them being over a hundred years old and still in good condition.
The bumbung panjang is the simplest of the four houseforms. It has a simple gable roof, supported by kingposts. The most common roofing material used for the bumbung panjang is the attap (a thatch made from nipah and other palm trees found in the local natural vegetation).

The simple bumbung panjang roof-form is most efficient in its ventilation properties. Its simple funnel shape, the use of ventilation grilles at its gable ends (tebar layar), and the use of ventilation joints allow good ventilation of the roof, space which cools the house effectively. The roof is simple and easy to construct, and this partly explains the popularity of this houseform among the poorer villagers and those who build houses themselves. The bumbung panjang, due to its simplicity, is a very efficient roof-form for making additions to the house. The bumbung lima, bumbung limas and bumbung perak are all houseforms which are not indigenous but developed through foreign influence. The bumbung lima and bumbung perak houses are believed to have been influenced by colonial Dutch and British houseforms. 

The bumbung lima house has a hipped roof, the bumbung perak house has a gambrel roof and the bumbung limas house has a pyramidal roof. Of these three foreign houseforms used in Malaysian houses, the bumbung perak houseform (also called bumbung potongan Belanda [Dutch-type] roof in the East Coast) is the most popular. Some homes, like the one pictured below, decorate with beautiful potted Avas Flowers and plants. Homeowners choose Malaysian flowers including orchids and the Malaysian National Flower, the red-colored Hibiscus. Avas Flowers offers potted flowers and plants so homeowners anywhere can beautify their homes.
