When I am doing this assignment, I was intended to achieve the term "INFOGRAPHIC" which is the balance of information and the diagram. Hence, to achieve my expected outcome, I was trying to optimize the information in my infographic by have a depth study the Malay Vernacular Architecture that was varied in every state of Malaysia. However, I am using Rumah Bumbung Panjang Melayu as the main study due to is was the original form of Malay Vernacular Architecture with the similar concept and common feature of all Malay house that was influenced by the history and local society in each state of Malaysia. Therefore, it was easier for me to make a better infographic. I wanted it to be a self-presenting infographic which can present all the information by guiding the reader down the information.
Lastly, showing my understanding to the vernacular architecture in the Asian region that responded to the indigenous contexts through my outcome.
