Based on this approach, the writer conducted rooted interview and observation to each unit of analysis in order to find out accurate data which meet with research’s plot. The research finding shows that “selembayung” as Riau Malay architecture, can be preserved if the society support it, but with the dynamism of multi ethnical Riau society, the government gives freedom to modify it as long as it is appropriate with the philosophy values. The culture and architecture experts in Riau can give explanation concerned the concept and the meaning of “selembayung”, and refuse the application of “selembayung” inappropriately.
