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airport for example has been replaced by a non descript warehouse.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 presenting orally a critical chronological 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.

Objective
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.
Learning Outcomes of this Project
 Analyze and discuss the relationship of the Modern Architecture of Malaysia with social, cultural,
environmental and intellectual context of Malaysian architecture post Merdeka/Independence.
 Differentiate the way in which many varied factors contribute to the development of Modern Malaysian
Architecture
 Produce, illustratively, orally and in text, a critical chronology analysis interpretation of Modern Malaysian
architecture.
 A continuous chronology poster.
 An on-line data account of the Modern Architecture chronology analysis interpretation of Malaysian
architecture also containing references and bibliography.
