ABSTRACT  This report documents on the overall information and data obtained from Measured Drawings activity one on the site of Fwu Chang Design and Souvenirs and Fwu Chang Gallery situated on Jalan Hang Kasturi, Malacca, Malaysia. Five days were spent on-site to measure and collect data on the two buildings and its origin. Fwu Chang Design and Souvenirs and Fwu Chang Gallery shophouse were owned by Fwu Chang Trading, an established firm engaging in carving and engraving line and centred its business on producing traditional tablets with gold lettering with a history of more than seven decades. Both of the shophouses has been classified as part of Malacca Heritage Shophouses when Malacca and George Town were awarded as UNESCO World Heritage Site as of 2008.

MEASURED DRAWINGS I NO. 85 - 87 I JALAN HANG KASTURI I MALACCA I VIII !
MEASURING METHODS The instrument that were used to collect measurements of Fwu Chang Design and Souvenirs and Fwu Chang Gallery are measuring tape and Digital Laser Measuring Device (Bosch GLM80 + R60). Measuring tape were used to measure smaller and easily accessible parts such as the columns, ornaments, balustrades whereas Digital Laser Measuring Device was used to measure greater lengths for floor plans, ceiling heights, elevations, etc. For vertical height on facade that is beyond human reach, laser measuring device were used along with Pythagoras theorem to calculate the actual height from the measurements obtained. METHODS OF DOCUMENTATIONS Drawings Measurements obtained on site were recorded as drafts on butter paper during measuring process and then later translated into scaled manual drawings. These steps were done in a progressive and continuous manner during the site visit to prevent missing out measurements before proceeding to the production of AutoCAD drawing after the site visit. Photography and Videography Photography and videography are quick and effective methods to document the building details and its context therefore plenty photos and videos were taken during the site visit and used as further reference for our team after the visit. Photos taken were also used as a base for tracing ornamentations in our building. Most photos taken are distorted due to perspective thus, perspective distortion were eliminated using photoshop via alignment.

1.0 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND 1.1 MALACCA 1.1.1 HISTORY Malcca is one of the thirteen states of modern Malaysia. It is located on about 70 kilometres of the south-west coast of the Malay Peninsula. It began as a small settlement, one of many in the area, but grew to become a legendary Malay emporium and capital before it fell into the hands of the Portuguese, the Dutch and finally the British. Malacca was just a village with few families when a fugitive prince named Parameswara chanced upon it one day and decided to stay. The people were orang laut, people who lived off the sea as fisherman and as pirates. The Straits of Malacca was even the lucrative grounds as there were boats laden with valuable cargo sailing between China and India and the Middle East.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
1.1.2 INDEPENDENCE OF MALACCA Malacca and the rest of the Malay Peninsula were occupied by the Japanese from 1942 to 1945 during World War II. The British returned to Malaya after the Japanese surrender in 1945. Malacca together with the other states in Malaya, came under Malayan Union. After World War II, nationalist sentiments among the people of Malaya culminated I a proud proclamation of independence. Tunku Abdul Rahman, the first prime minister of Malaysia chose Pahang Pahlawan (Warrior’s Field) at Bandar Hilir in Malacca to announce Malaysia independence to the entire country on February 20, 1956. Malaysia officially independent country on 31 August 1957.

1.1.3 PRESENT MALACCA Malacca nevertheless has a strong economy based on agriculture and tourism. With its choice location between Kuala Lumpur in the north and Singapore in the south, Malacca City is a haven for both tourist and investors. Although industry is set to become mainstay of the state economy in the future, its tourism that will always remain Malacca’s main attraction. Malacca was declared as a historical City on 15 April 1989 and it's the oldest city in the country. It has retained much of its ancient heritage and timeless charm.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
1.1.4 ORIGIN OF NAME The origin of Malacca’s name has been debated by historians and etymologists, but most accept a derivation from the tree commonly called pokok Melaka in Malay because Malays traditionally named a place for its geographic or botanic features. The founder, Parameswara was standing under when he was surprised by the actions of the mouse deer that had not run but instead kicked his hunting dogs into the water when they tried to corner it. He saw this good omen and decided that he would settle down in the place and name it Malacca - after the tree that was shading him. The account of this event is described in Sejarah Melayu (The Malay

1.1.6 BACKGROUND AND TOWN PLANNING Just over a century later, in 1511, Malacca fell to Portuguese invaders travelling from Goa in India. This started a cycle of nearly 450 years of colonial rule during the history of Malacca, resulting in its varied heritage still in evidence today. The fort of A Fomosa, whose only remaining structure is the Porta de Santiago, became the centre of Portuguese rule here, built on a hill overlooking the sea to defend thetown from the armies of the Sultan. However, it was another European power that proved the main threat. Figure 1.7 Malacca Portuguese Town Map (Anonymous, n.d.)

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
As the first base of European Christian trading kingdom in Southeast Asia, it was surrounded by numerous emerging native Muslim states. Also, with hostile initial contact with the local Malay policy, Portuguese Malacca faced severe hostility. They endured years of battles started by Malay sultans who wanted to get rid of the Portuguese and reclaim their land. Rather than a centralised port of exchange of Asian wealth exchange, or a Malay state to police the Strait of Malacca that made it safe for commercial traffic, trade was now scattered over a number of ports amongst bitter warfare in the Straits.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
During Dutch era, the This era saw relative peace with little serious interruption from the Malay kingdoms due to the understanding earlier on forged between the Dutch and the Sultanate of Johor in 1606. This time also marked the decline of the importance of Malacca. The Dutch invaded and took over in 1641, again leaving their distinctive European mark on Malacca. Stadthuys, or the Red Building, was built in 1650 on Laksamana Road and is today the oldest Dutch structure still standing in the East.Map of Malacca in Dutch period

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
By 1824, the Dutch had essentially lost interest in Malacca and began to concentrate their efforts on Indonesia instead, ceding the colony to the British under the Anglo-Dutch Treaty. The British East India Company ruled until 1946, before the town became a crown colony. During this period, the British did little building of their own, instead converting the existing Dutch and Portuguese buildings for their own use, even painting the Stadthuys its distinctive red colour.

Like for the Baba Nyonya Museum at Heeren Streets, the architectural convention took after was a changed adaptation of the "Chinese National" or northern style. This architectural exemplifies the profound idea of amicability with nature. This is showed in the imagery of the trimmings that are utilized to pass on good fortune, bearings, seasons, the winds and heavenly bodies.

Fundamentally the dividers are of brick and put with lime, the rooftop structure is of timber.

ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENT
2.2.3 Early Shophouse Style 1800 - 1850 The early type of two story sort of shophouses is worked to the road edge with recessed ground floor framing a pedestrian walkway, generally basic in detail and moderately low in scale. With brick work partitioning divider, they are regularly inherent lines with straightforward pitched rooftop. The faรงade is a method for filling the space between the two end dividers. The upper floor faรงade bolstered by squat columns extend over the walker walkway, and comprises generally of timber development with nonstop line of framed or louvered screens. The spandrel is of either timber (for the prior sort) or stone work while the upper pillar is for the most part set specifically over the window opening, ruling out frieze and with uncovered rooftop rafters shaping a shade and straightforward sash board. The upper floor faรงade is flanked by plain brick work pilasters at each side and the ground floor has full width opening. Fundamentally, structures of this style join brick work seperating dividers with timber upper floor and tiled rooftop.

ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENT
2.2.4 Early Transitional Style 1840 - 1900 The two story structures are worked to the road edge and join a five foot pedestrian on foot walkway which is therefore known as 'five footway' and is all around dug in the style by the center of the nineteenth century. Expressive gable ends to rows. Ornamentation is minimal with the upper consoles frequently enlarged and decorated with flower motifs, straightforward adornment to the spandrel. Green glazed ceramic vents) and plain pilasters. The typical requests embraced are the Tuscan and Doric. Upper floor openings, with a line of consistent timber screens are normal. Cornices or flat moldings along the bar make the strycture seem substantial. Fundamentally, structures of this style fuse the utilization of stone work isolating dividers with timber upper floor, tiled rooftop and timber bar.

fortified solid lintels and pillars, timber upper floor and tiled rooftops.
1890 - 1920 The transitional style is portrayed by structures with relatively controlled utilization of adornments on its façade. Doors and windows remain transcendently timber framed and shuttered despite the fact that the utilization of glass in little plates on the shades later got to be distinctly normal. Transoms are level angled or half circle infilled with glass. Vents are utilized with a style of economy, architectural compositions as squares or diamond between windows. Ground floor masonry work walls have symmetrical double doors, a couple of window and bat shape vents above. The style fuses large portions of the components of the "grand" classical style, reinterpreted and received to suit the shophouses vernacular may incorporate pediments, pilasters, cornerstones and curves. Since 1910’s the use of reinforced concrete allowed wide roof overhangs and more elaborate cantilevered concrete decoration (consoles). This style displays only a bipartite height arrange, in example elevation with two windows. Fundamentally, structures of this style

ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENT
2.2.6 Late Straits Eclectic Style 1920 - 1940 This the most impressive style particularly in the use of ornamentation. The tripartite arrangement of three windows on the façade reduces the actual wall space to the minimum and provides maximum ventilation. In later examples, the wall surface is replaced by columns or pilasters framing the windows. The constrained indigenous façade designs borrowed freely from the various ethnic traditions. Chinese panel frescoes are often combined with Malay timber fretworks that fringe the cape of the roof. Brightly coloured ceramic tiles and plaster delicately moulded into bouquets, festoons, plagues and other elaborate ornamentation bear testimony to the artistry of the shophouse builders. The development of reinforced concrete in the 1910’s enabled large spans to be achieved and more elaborate cantilevered details to be incorporated into facades. Fundamentally, structures of this style incorporate extensive use of masonry with first floor timber fenestration and tiled roof.

2.2.7 Neo- Classical Style Late 18th - Early 20th The Last phase of European Classicism of the late 18th and early 19th century characterised by monumentality, a sparing used of ornament and strict used of the Orders Of Architecture. Attentively proportioned which sometimes incorporate portico, colonnade and cupola in the design. Apparently, the style which was carried through into the early 20th century was altered by Anglo-Indian Architecture through colonial British with East Indian Company which brought influences practical to their tropical experience, which are embodied by high ceilings, large porches and painted in pastel or white finishing on exterior and interior walls which are seen in the colonial government buildings and bungalows for European masters in all major cities such as buildings along Weld Quay. The most nontropical forms used is the Palladian system of neo-greek column, pediments and fenestration, neo-Roman arches and domes, and Renaissance ,cupalos, turrets,parapets quoins, espadanas, surrounds, staircases and balconies.

ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENT
2.2.8 Art-Deco Style 1930 - 1950 Art Deco is a decorative style used widely between the 1930’s and 1950’s. The style is categorised by the use of straight lines (typically three parallel) arranged either vertically or horizontally in conjunction with other geometric elements, creating a strong vertical or horizontal emphasis to the structure. A granulated render adapted from and regionally known as “Shanghai Plaster” was brought in at this time and was frequently used. The buoyant classical decoration of earlier style became much more controlled and in many cases was stripped completely. Windows are arranged in groups rather than the typical three bays commonly observed in the earlier shophouses style (casement shutters). Emphasizing the date of construction on the façade of the building as well as the use of metal frame windows is typical of this period of architecture. Structurally, buildings of this style are or reinforced concrete masonry rendered or Shanghai plastered. Development or reinforced concrete resulted in cantilevered sunshades and high pediment or parapet wall.

2.2.9 Early Modern Style 19th - 20th Century (Post War) Following the evolution in western art and architecture from the end of the 19th century to its peak in the 1920’s and 1930’s. It actually grasp a wide variety of movements, theories, and attitudes whose modernity resides in a common tendency to repudiate past architecture. The important figures in the general trend towards a radically ornamented and simplified architectural styles were Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, Mies Van de Rohe. Built with reason, form by individuality and the aesthetic quality of which came from the minimalist of their form and the abstract relationship of solid surfaces and large, clean cut openings rather than from applied ornament or decoration. The trend soon caught up in the country during post war. Although in progressing design away from the quaint and craftsmanship, local influences were not disregarded but were adapted to form a special modern style. Structurally, the buildings of

Fwu Chang also follows the ‘Lu Ban’ and ‘Ding Lang’ rules when choosing date to chop down trees and carving so that it does not disrupt the nature harmony and leads to bad happenings. Lu Ban was an expert carpenter in Chinese history and were worshipped by people who are involved in construction and wood related industry. When carving ancestor panel, extreme care were taken into choosing the right date and time to chop down trees as it is closely related to the death’s spirit. Besides that, when preparing signboards or statues for temple, it is crucial to consecrate the art piece before placing it in the temple, this is also known as ’Kai Guang’ in Chinese. It is essential for the person hanging up the signboards Chinese zodiac to not crash with the date and time of the elevating event therefore thorough examination were done before the event. It is also a taboo to remove the signboards or tablet once it had been hung up as this convey a bad omen to the business.

4.2 EARLY SHOPHOUSE STYLE Early Shophouse style are the early form of two storey type of shophouses. They were built to the street edge with recessed ground floor forming a pedestrian walkway, five-foot way. Shophouses of this style were generally simple in detail and relatively low in scale. They were normally built in rows with masonry parti wall and
simple pitched roof. The facade acts as a filler
between the spaces within the two walls, the upper floor facade usually projects over the walkway supported by square pillars. These shophouses consists mostly of timber construction with continuos row of panelled or louvered shutters. The upper floor facade is usually bordered by plain masonry pilasters at each side and the ground floor has full width opening. structurally, buildings of this style incorporate masonry dividing walls with timber upper floor and tilled roof.

Parapets were originally used to defend buildings from military attack, but today they are primarily used as guard rails and to prevent the spread of fires. It were present in most architecture that were built during art deco period as advancement of fortified cement made it possible to build cantilevered sunshades and high pediment or parapet divider.

5.5 BRESSUMMER BEAM Bressummer beam is the main structural beam supporting the wall above and creating a wide opening beneath it. Originally it were made of hardwood, then reinforced concrete beams were introduced during the 1920s and by the late of nineteenth century, I-beam was introduced. As the structural material changed, the corbel supporting the end of the bressummer beam changed as well. This element were gradually merged into the overall facade and the clear definition of this element disappeared. Common materials used for Art-Deco bressummer beam includes reinforced concrete, cement or shanghai plaster

9.0 CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
 9.1 FLOORING Timber strips flooring were used to cover the first floor of No. 87 and No. 85 building. Timber flooring has high durability due to its good resistance against fungi, insects, chemicals, etc. Advantages: Tough and able to withstand various types of weather conditions. Variety of styles, colours and species to choose from.
Figure 9.1: Timber flooring used in No. 87 building
Considerably cheap and reasonable cost. Can be recycled and
(Shafreena Isreen, 2017)
renewed. Flexible in design and easy to maintain. Disadvantages: Setting up of flooring requires skill workers. Bad conductor of heat and low sound insulation. Re-sand and re-polish are required to maintain the original appearance as it will lose its shine and appears dull after a period of time.

9.3 PARTITION WALL Timber partition wall is installed on the first floor of No. 87 shophouse. Partition wall is a type of wall that were used to divide floor spaces of a building into rooms. Advantages: Timber partition wall can be easily constructed because of its thin and light structure. This helps saving up spaces as it occupies less floor area. Disadvantages: Timber partition walls have bad sound insulation due to its thin structure. It is also not long-lasting as it is vulnerable to

When the weather is hot the wood will crack. Wood with high moisture content will be placed in the drying room for around one month, we will check the moisture content, usually around 20,21 degrees we are able to use it. But not too ideal, unless we do not have enough time. Wood with moisture content 16-17 degrees are the best. Then, we have to cut the wood and paint it. After painting we will print the words on the wood, simple carvings took around one month. This also depends on the customer's preferences and request on price, it is definite that hand crafted work is more expensive.
