Introduction
The greatest architectural transformation followed Merdeka, or Independence in 1957. Kuala Lumpur and other
parts of Malaysia was transformed from a colonial town into the new nation and Kuala Lumpur the new nations
capital. Proud symbols of nationhood were expressed in new and daring forms. Innovative construction
techniques and industrialized components changed the scale of commercial buildings and enabled the erection
of the first prominent buildings and sky scrapers that shaped the nations architectural modern scene. According
to Ar. Chan Seong Aun, president of Persatuan Akitek Malaysia (2013-2015), most Malaysian architecture of the
modern movement are not documented thoroughly and have not made the list of heritage buildings. The Subang
airport for example has been replaced by a non descript warehouse. It is therefore important that we properly
record the heritage of Malaysian architecture before it is destroyed and lost forever.
This research project adopts document analysis methodology that involves documenting, analyzing, producing,
and a critical chronological and diagrammatical interpretation of Modern Malaysian architectural history. This
project emphasizes critical analysis of the post Merdeka/Independance of Malaysian architecture in the effort to
understand the influences of post-modernism to architectural design and construction, building science and
technology, and urban design. The project is to distinguish the way in which many diverse factors contribute to
the development of Modern Malaysian architecture. The development of the project would involve active
discussion, analysis interpretation and consultation with the tutor.

Objectives
The objectives of this project are as follows:
To allow students to undertake a research analysis process on Modern Malaysian architecture practices
throughout history through literature review and document analysis and present an appropriate chronology
account of the Malaysian architecture based on the understanding gained through the analysis procedure.
To familiarize students to the activities of culmination and production of a research analysis through assemblage,
chronologically indices and evaluation of information; composing and organization of study; assembly of
illustration and text; design layout composition; poster and presentation.
To introduce visual and critical thinking through learning from precedents with diagramming, and to introduce the
basic principles of form, space and order in the architectural design of Modern Malaysian architecture. The
analysis is based on, but not limited to, the following:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
g)
Organization of form
Organization of space
Circulation and paths-space relationship
Axis and relations of axes
Massing
Symmetry and balance
Rhythm and repetition
Learning Outcomes
1. Analyze and discuss the relationship of the Modern Architecture of Malaysia with social, cultural,
environmental and intellectual context of Malaysian architecture post Merdeka/Independence.
2. Differentiate the way in which many varied factors contribute to the development of Modern Malaysian
Architecture
3. Produce, a diagrammatic analysis illustratively and in text, a critical chronology analysis interpretation of
Modern Malaysian architecture.
4. A continuous chronology poster.
5. An on-line data account of the Modern Architecture chronology and diagrammatic analysis interpretation
of Malaysian architecture also containing references and bibliography.
