Analysis reveals morphological transformations in shophouses, suggesting implications on urban identity and development.
Shophouses in Pekan Bangi Lama are analyzed as the typo-morphological transformation of plots and buildings because they had gone through a time-crossing period process starting from 1900 until now and were gradually devasted by development that destroys the genius loci of the town. The typological transformation of shophouses along with the morphology of development in Southeast Asian cities has also been observed through the study of existing literature. The Muratori Typo-Morphology method is used as the objective in identifying the typomorphological transformation of the plots and shophouse buildings of Pekan Bangi Lama and then analysing the socio-spatial morphological changes of Pekan Bangi Lama. Cartography, images of past and present were examined as a comparative basis for transformation. At the same time, a field survey was conducted to find out the changes in facade typology, function, and the latest physical condition of shophouses in Pekan Bangi Lama.
