PROJECT SYNOPSIS
The Conservation
of
Madrasah Idrisiah
Madrasah Idrisiah was the first royal religious school in Perak. Built in 1917 during the reign of Sultan Iskandar Qaddasallah, son of Sultan Idris I Mursyidul ‘Adzam Shah. The building was built on a site of 3 acres of land and is located next to the Ubudiah Mosque, Kuala Kangsar. The main building is a 2-storey wooden structure with an estimated total floor area of 6,796 square feet. The building is symmetrical in form, with a corridor around the building. The corridor is supported by wooden pillars from the ground floor.
In 2017, through the allocation from the National Heritage Department of Malaysia, the main building of Madrasah Idrisiah underwent building conservation works. The building has timber structure defects such as deterioration due to moisture, insect, fungal attacks, and improper repair work. The conservation of the mosque involves the timber structures of beams, columns, shafts, and roof structures. The proposed conservation method is minimal intervention, and the main aims are to restore and consolidate the existing timber structure.
