Case Study on the Renovations of Minarets and Chhatries in Four Types of Mughal-Influenced Mosques in Kedah, Malaysia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Four types of mosques are found in Kedah state, Malaysia. They can be categorised as the supreme, urban, rural and small mosque. For this paper, the authors focus solely on the general modification and the renovation of minarets and chhatries of four mosques representing the four types of mosques. The authors inspected the condition of these four mosques several times over a period of two years. The study then discusses the scale and capacity of the mosques and how the renovations have functioned to create an appropriate or non-appropriate atmosphere in the architectural style highlighted by these mosques. Furthermore, the study examines the suitability of the minaret element found on the Zahir and Al-Fateh Mosques. Masjid Zahir does not have much of a problem due to its status as a royal mosque maintained by the state government. Masjid Al-Fateh is an urban mosque with many facilities, but the entire mosque building is incompatible with the recently completed minaret. Masjid Ar-Rahmah has a minaret antenna built on its existing structure of a chhatri. A chhatri is an umbrella-like domed kiosk that acts as a turret or small minaret. Masjid As-Syakirin does not have a minaret but has four chhatries on each corner of its main rooftop. All these three mosques have had issues with renovation, a factor that has prevented their buildings from becoming a sample of good architecture. This study discusses the issue of architectural renovation so that mosques that wish to make future modifications can do their best; future renovations should take into account the existing architectural features of the mosque.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
