SURAU BUIDING RESEARCH

A.Definition
Surau is an Islamic assembly building in some regions of Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula used
for worship and religious instruction. Some of its ritual functions are similar to a mosque, but
Surau are mostly smaller than mosques, allow men and women, and are used more for religious
instruction and festive prayers. They depend more on grassroots support and funding. They can
be compared to the Arab ZawiyaIn Minangkabau society they continued pre-Islamic traditions of
an all-male gathering place to worship ancestors and were built up high on posts.
In contemporary usage, Surau is often used to refer to either a small mosque, or a designated
room in a public building (such as a shopping mall, a university) for men or women to do their
prayers.

The double storey, dual frontage South Paddock building was designed and constructed as a
modular structure utilizing up to 80% recycled structural steel from the previous temporary
chalets. This included steel columns, beams and the steel staircases. Although the spatial
planning of this facility was mainly driven by its functional requirements, several design
elements were incorporated to provide passive solar control throughout the day.
C Programs
The emergence of back to the surau (kembalike surau) discourse in Minangkabau society started
since the
reformation era after 1998. Law Number 22 of 1999 on Regional Autonomy and Regional
Regulation No. 9 of 2000
on the system of regional government is the cornerstone of the initial desire. Although the two
products of law were
no direct connection with the surau, but those affect the attention of people who want to revive
the old tradition that
has been missing. In addition, it is also very closely related to the slogan adaik basandi Syarak,
Syarak basandi Kitabullah
as expressed above.
Surau as a religious institution, accommodating all religious practices such as places of worship
and recitation
of the Qur'an, has actually contributed greatly in the development and formation of religious
character of
Minangkabau society. Similarly, the institution also plays in socio-cultural life of Minangkabau
Society, for example,
as children place to sleep, studying martial arts and learning customs. It cannot be forgotten that
the lives of many
people in the past forged in the surau institutions, so there was the view that they would have the
mental attitude or
disposition that could be strong both in the field of religion and custom. And not infrequently the
surau has always
been associated with the presence of scholars and great thinkers of Minangkabau that had
contribution at national and
international level. Relating to the past history, in this reformation era for the West Sumatra
(Minangkabau) as if
returning to surau is "main program" towards inevitability.
Unfortunetely, the term kembali ke surau is only a slogan and a notion that does not be
followed by the regulation. Thus, many interpretations follow the notion. And the problem lays
on the meaning of the
concept about the Surau education itself. Some interprets the notion as back to the old system of
education of surau.
Thus every village must have surau not only as the place to pray but also as the place where
every childrens learned
about classical Islamic teaching. There are number of a priori rejection arguments and various
doubts and fears due to
social change and its demands. Furthermore, the interpretation from the political point of view
states that the notion
is only to fulfill groups interests and ambitions to attract public sympathy.
D. Plot size and Plot orientation and circulation
Among these design elements, the angle and cantilevered edges of the raised roof over the covered
terraces aid in providing adequate shading over the pit lane. In addition, the roof height ensures a
well ventilated viewing terrace for spectators while maintaining existing views from the
grandstand, enhancing SIC as a whole without compromising the existing offerings.

This new facility features three modules of six pit garages, each with a floor area of 80m2 totalling
18 pit garages. A typical module is configurable to expand the pit area by up to three pits, providing
flexibility in its use, catering for the diverse and changing requirements of its users. This scalability
in its use will provide a wide range of sizes suitable for the private client and larger racing teams
alike. Built on a newly constructed raised platform, the facility also features a Hospitality Club
serviced by a fully-equipped commercial kitchen. The hospitality area extends to the covered
terraces on either side of the Hospitality Club, which offers a dynamic atmosphere with direct
views of the circuit. With the inclusion of a car lift, the hospitality area on the upper level of the
South Paddock has been designed for corporate events as well as car launches. The flexibility in
the use of the pit garages extends to the hospitality area as well, further meeting and exceeding the
requirements of its diverse users.

Teams using the South Paddock will have full access to facilities including an Operations Room,
Race Office, Timing Room, Race Control and Steward Room amongst others all with full
communications infrastructure. A fully equipped Medical Room and public amenities such as
toilets and prayer rooms complement the total offerings at the South Paddock.
