3. 1.0 INTRODUCTION
Klang Valley is a rich source of architectural heritage dated from
pre-colonial,colonial and post-independence until present times.The
historical richness creates a very vibrant architectural fabric.The modern
architecture emerges rapidly from 1950’s to 1970’s as economic growth
spurs.This follows the international style that spreads across the world in
1930’s to 50’s.However,many historical modernistic buildings may face risk
of being demolished to make way for more contemporary
buildings.Thus,by recording,documenting and analysing the building,we
can contribute to preserve the historical evidence of the valuable modern
architecture in Klang Valley.
We have selected Chin Woo Stadium as our building for analysis and
studies which is located at Jalan Hang Jebat,Kuala Lumpur.Located at the
heart of Kuala Lumpur.It is a rather isolated building from the public as it is
located on a hillside.However the building has very unique design which is
somewhat different from any building that can be found in Malaysia with its
style having influence from the Art-Deco style.

“ Architectural style is
features that make a
building or structure
