| Summary: | This paper will be presents a review of the literature pertinent to the life-cycle
preservation, operation, and maintenance aspects of buildings features disparity are rarely considered
at the initial design and construction stages. This is due to the facts that mainly in the disconnections
within built facilities life-cycle, from their initial creation processes, through use to obsolescence. There
is also a dearth of knowledge of the specific impact of upstream design and construction decisions and
choices on the downstream preservation, operation, and maintenance of building structures and
fabrics. Hence, in order to bridge this knowledge gap and forge a connection between design and lifecycle
use and maintenance of buildings, this study aims to identify design defect which affect building
maintenance and to identify the systematic framework for selecting a suitable maintenance strategy for
each individual item in a building. The investigation for this study will be undertaken in two phases.
The first phase involved a literature search on the identification of some of the relative defect factors in
design stage that affect maintenance. The second phase involved gathering data through site visits,
interviews and discussions with owners, architectural/engineering firms and contractors. The scope of
this research will be limited to civil and architectural defects in building design that affect maintenance
only in the Museum Adat Istiadat Melayu Kelantan (Muzium Islam). It will be observed that the
different of structural and fabrics integrity of these buildings to their different defect styles and features.
This finding will underscores the importance of designing architectural features of buildings with their
operation, maintainability, and life-cycle preservation in mind, if structural and fabrics integrity must be
maintained, and a greater sustainability achieved, while restoration ringgit are saved. |
