Mapping the “Mahkota Atap Masjid” or Decorative Roof Finial of Traditional Mosques in Malacca
Decorative roof finials, also known as Mahkota Atap Masjid, are a unique identity and hallmark of Islam in Malacca. Today, there are more than 160 mosques throughout the state of Malacca, however, only 38 of them have a decorative roof finial. Therefore, the objectives of this research are: to map the location of these mosques and document their designs for heritage documentation. This research applies a qualitative methodology using air photography via drone (model DJI Phantom 3 Standard) for data documentation and typological analysis for establishing types of designs to study.Keywords: Mosque; Islam; Malay; ArchitectureeISSN: 2398-4287 © 2019.
