In a Muslim community, the mosque or masjid is considered to be important because they have served as key locations for religious gatherings and centres for political and social activities in the community since the dawn of Islam. A heritage masjid in Malaysia is classified as having traditional architecture, which includes a distinctive style and material that represents the local people's customs and culture. Traditional architecture in Negeri Sembilan is in jeopardy as a result of rapid urbanization. Its abandonment might lead to the disappearance of its information, documentation, and features due to a change in design and materials. Whether as a consequence of natural calamities or human invasion, architectural heritage is constantly under risk. Therefore, preservation and conservation are essential stages in the life cycle of a historic property. Heritage masjid are important to protect, because it depicts the authenticity and workmanship of local villagers in an age before modern technology. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the current condition of heritage masjid in Negeri Sembilan. This research employed on-site observations and includes a comprehensive review of the literature approach on various documentation. This paper concludes with a discussion of how these findings will contribute to the improvement of the current situation and the preservation of the functional aspects of Negeri Sembilan heritage masjid.

Rumah kampung, or Malay house, exemplifies the richness and insight of traditional buildings, sharing a home with people, and living in peace with nature. The typical Malay home is a building elevated on stilts high above the ground, covered with thatch roofs, encased with wooden walls, and pierced with windows and lattices in its most basic form. Due to the increasing interest in cultural heritage as a driving force of socio-economic development, many initiatives involving its preservation, conservation, restoration, and dissemination are undertaken throughout the globe. Conservation entails taking physical steps to preserve the fabric and elements of heritage buildings. It is a method of preventing deterioration from extending the life of buildings. According to the conservation concept, building conservation should maintain as much of the original building structure and fabric as feasible. Heritage buildings are now conserved based on historical and cultural considerations, and the cultural value of the architecture of historic buildings is slowly appreciated. The techniques, methods, and materials used to build and construct the buildings are the primary concern in conservation projects. This paper aims to investigate the current conservation process using the digitalization approach to document Negeri Sembilan Traditional Malay House. Data collection provides a literature review, whereby the current conservation process for cases in Malaysia and various countries will be reviewed. Content analysis was utilized to analyze the results. The findings of this paper provide helpful information regarding the potential development of digitalization based on the conservation process to be used further in the future traditional conservation building.

Wood carving is a common trait seen in a Malay traditional house. Different types of wood carvings can be found in a Malay house based on the owners' status, wealth, culture, and religion. After Islam was introduced to Malaysia and became the main principle and guide for the people, they began to adopt Islamic values in their daily lives, including the illustration of the wood carvings. These beautiful wood-carving motifs were designed as a symbol of obedience toward a higher power. Unfortunately, over time wood carving has been neglected and is no longer a popular trend, leading to abandonment and ruins. Without proper acknowledgement, total loss of heritage and identity may happen. Hence, by employing qualitative methods such as literature review and observational study on selected heritage houses, the researchers managed to identify the typology of wood carvings in Malay traditional houses. The findings showed a wide variety of wood carvings based on the different placements in the traditional house. The motifs used during those times were floral, geometric, and calligraphy. Understanding the motifs would be a good start before introducing them to the public and educating them on the importance of conserving these motifs for future generations.
