The influence of Islamic architecture on the colonial buildings in MalaysiaMat Zain Abdullah
Islamic style of architecture significantly present on many colonial buildings in Malaysia drew inspirations from Mughal architectural style of India made popular by British architects in India during the British Raj. This style of architecture during the British Raj in India was called Indo-Saracenic and its vast influence was exported to as far as then Malaya introduced by the British that ruled Malaya.
METHODS OF DOCUMENTATION AND MEASURED DRAWING (ISTANA BANDAR)Vicky Lee
Methods of Documentation and Measured Drawings (ARC1215) (ARC60305) is a short semester course conducted in Taylor’s University that aims to develop an understanding of the principles of building preservation and the method of recording it in three documentation methods; measured drawings, written documentation and photographic documentation. The ideas of application and management of architectural historic documentation will be presented as part of the overall knowledge of building preservation. For measured drawings, students are to document historically and architecturally significant buildings in the form of as-built drawings. The task requires 10 to 20 students per group depending on the size and complexity of the building to be measured that involve field works consisting measuring technique such as photographing, sketches, use of theodolite and measuring tape. The outcomes of the subject are collections of plans, sections, elevations, details and axonometric views / models; complemented with a report that explains about the background, history, culture architectural style, construction and ornamentation of the given building.

A dome is a hemispherical structure usually forming a ceiling or roof. Dome structures made of various materials have been used throughout history by several different civilizations. In the ancient Near East domes were made as tombs of solid mounds. The Inuit in the Arctic created their igloos from blocks of compacted snow, generally in the form of a dome.
Domes became technically significant with the introduction of the large-scale masonry hemispheres by the ancient Romans. The Sassanid Empire initiated the construction of the first large-scale domes in Persia while they regained popularity in Europe during the Renaissance and Baroque periods resulting in some of the most famous domes in the world.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. INTRODUCTION
Masjid Sultan Sulaiman Jamiur – Rahmah, also known as Sultan Sulaiman Royal
Mosque, was named after the fifth Sultan of Selangor which is Sultan Sir Alaeddin
Sulaiman Shah (1898-1938). This mosque is located at Jalan Kota Raja, Klang,
Selangor. This mosque was designed by the British architect Leofic Kesteven. This
mosque was completed in the year 1932 and was officially opened by the fifth Sultan of
Selangor, Sultan Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah on 1934. Besides being a place for worship for
the Islam and a sign of the Supremacy of the King, it was also to introduce the idea
whereby the mosque act as the complex of religion which has the administrative body,
the educational body and others during the early 19th century.
Other famous old buildings which are around the same area as Masjid Sultan Sulaiman
are Kolej Islam Sultan Alam Shah, The Sultan Abdul Aziz Royal Gallery and Istana Alam
Shah. Kolej Islam Sultan Alam Shah was initially a palace which was donated by
Almarhum Sultan Hishamuddin Ibni Almarhum Sultan Sulaiman to become a college until
today. His hope was that this college would produce scholars who is loyal to Allah and
can guide the community towards pure Islamic teaching and values. The Sultan Abdul
Aziz Royal Gallery was dedicated in honour of his late father, Sultan Salahuddin Abdul
Aziz Shah. Lastly, Istana Alam Shah is the official palace of the Sultan of Selangor. This
palace was built in 1905 during the rule of Sultan Sir Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah, fifth
Sultan of Selangor.

As mention, the architect, Leofic Kesteven was appointed by the British to design the
mosque. He designed it in such a way that the mosque’s architecture has an influence of
Islamic Architecture and the combination of Western Art Deco and Neoclassical cathedral
style. The original design of the building is like a church plan, whereby the design is like a
cross bar when viewed from above. This is due to the fact that the mosque could be
converted into a church if the British were to consider colonizing Malaysia completely.
The building is made out of stone, as this was under the influence of the British and Indian
Muslim. The most noticeable feature of the plan is the central plan. This plan uses two
main axes of the axis of the East-West and North- South. There are eight small towers
around the mosque and a large tower in the middle and higher entrance from the main
porch. The tower is also decorated with yellow dome at the summit.
6. BUILDING INVENTORY – Elements of the Building
Stained Glass
The mosque was designed and built during the British colonization in the 19th century.
There was a theory that the British architect, although the mosque as a gift to the Sultan,
he had designed it in a way that resembles a church so that if the British managed to
colonize Malaysia completely, they can just convert it into church.
One of the elements that were implemented in the design of the mosque was stained
glass (refer image 2.1.1). Stained glass is a common element found in the architecture of
churches and cathedrals to light symbolizing God and the colors from the glass
symbolizing jewels embellishing the Heavenly City of Jerusalem.
It’s the only form of art, which is observed through refracted and not reflected light, so its
appearance changes according to the time of the day and season of the year. Stained
glass can be arranged to create a figural design and painting or set contrasting pieces in a
framework like a mosaic.
Although the British wanted it to resemble church, they had to respect the Islamic style
that had been used for mosques. Normally, stained glass windows would depict pictures
of religious individuals but in Islam it is highly discouraged. It is haram to make illustrations
or portrayals of God or the Prophets.
9. Ornamentation
An overall minimalistic building, the mosque does contain certain ornamentations,
predominantly geometrical patterns but there are traces of arabesque on plain solid walls.
Mosques tend to be simple and undecorated. Lavish and extravagant ornaments were
dissuaded because it’s considered as boasting. But there are grand mosques in the world
that were built as a political statement or were converted from churches, synagogues and
temples.
In Islamic architecture, geometric patterns are generated from repeating, combining,
interlacing and arranging simple shapes into different combinations to form complex
patterns.
The Sultan Sulaiman Royal Mosque consists of geometric patterns that can be found on
the walls and fences of the mosque and on floor tiles in the courtyard.
The ornamentation used was not complex, mostly resembling stars or flowers.
There are also hints of arabesque, an intricate ornament composed of vegetal and
geometric patterns along with calligraphic ornament of an inscription.

11. Minaret
Minarets or manara (Image 2.3), are towers that can be found attaches to the mosque.
The largest minaret and tallest is placed in the middle of the walkway, is surrounded by 8
smaller minarets, all adorned with yellow domes, were added on after the British
colonization.Considered to be one of the most distinctive features of the Islamic
architecture in mosques, it was said that the development of minarets was influenced by
several sources. The word minaret, may originally meant ‘an object that gives light’, used
in old Arabic poetry to mean oil lamp or rush light used in the cell of the Christian monk.
Later, the word was used to describe ‘light-towers’ or ‘lighthouse’.
“Schwally has suggested, and he is followed by Douttée, that the application of the word
‘manārat’ to the tower of a mosque is due to the light held by the Muezzin as he recites
the call to prayer at which gives the onlooker below the idea of a light-tower...”(Gottheil,
1910)
Although it’s main function is to give call to prayers and require no great details, nowadays
minarets are built tall and lavished with ornamentation as a political statement of a certain
community or association. In the medieval Islamic world, the Muezzins used to recite the
call to prayer from the roof of the mosque or the top of the minarets, but with the
development of technology, loudspeakers are attached to the minarets to make the calls
instead of the Muezzin himself.
13. Dome
The most obvious element of the mosque is the dome (Image 2.4). A dome is a vault
created by turning an arch trhough 360 degrees to form a curved roof that creates a
magnificent silhouette against the sky. It is a common element found in Islamic
architecture.
Image 2.4 : The Domes of Sultan Sulaiman Royal Mosque
Source : Trevor Hoareau , 2013
The very first construction of the dome began in the Roman Architectural Revolution and
were an important part of the early Christian and Byzantine architecture. In the Muslim
world, construction of domes reached its peak during the 16th – 18th centuries. The dome,
in the mosque, is placed directly above the main prayer hall. This symbolizes the vault of
heaven and the sky. The dome is an efficient structure that helps to keep the inside of the
building cool and airy, improving the ventilation especially in hot climates like Malaysia.
Consequently, the mosque does not require a lot of fans to keep the interior well
ventilated. The dome also acts as an amplifier for the voice of the person who’s
addressing the congregation.
14. Arch
One of the most incredible architectural discovery is the arch (refer to image 2.5), dating
back to ancient times but is still in wide use today, as up until the 19th century, it was the
only known method for roofing without the use of beams. Arches are especially use in
cathedrals during the medieval times, supporting the great weight of the stone ceilings
when the walls were weakened by the presence of many windows and the arches are
often supported by buttresses.
Unique to architecture was the Islamic arch, found about the same time in the Middle
East. Numerous advances were made by the culture until they have developed a
horseshoe-shaped arch. According to FSTC Limited (2002), the horseshoe arch is a
symbol of sainthood and holiness and it is an improved version of the Roman semicircular
arch in that it is much more circular in shape. Besides, it also provided a better
improvement allowing more heights than the classical arch as well as better aesthetic and
ornamental use. The Islamic arches can be found in mosques throughout the Middle East
as well as other Islamic countries like Malaysia.

15. Façade
Pebble dashing wall finish, referring to image 2.6, was implemented on the design of the
mosque. Pebbledash is the modern rendering process that dates from Roman time. The
finish renders the external walls by mixing lime or cement with sand; small gravel and
pebbles then cast the wall with it. "In Britain, it is thought to have originated in the 16th
century in East Anglia, where there had been a recent revival of brick making, but none
except the grandest could afford a whole wall full of the smart new bricks"- described by
Derbyshire Aggregates Ltd. In 19th century, William Morris instigated that it caught the
eye of the Arts and Crafts movement. Besides that, the functions that it provided are
improved water shedding properties, gave good impact resistance, provided a low
maintenance decorative finish, and so on. (Derbyshire Aggregates Ltd 2009 - 2013)
The pebbledash finish is originally used as protection from the weather but in common,
this finish does not add any additional strength to a wall. With the recent development of
aggregate products for dashing, pebbledash are now available in great choice of colour
and texture. This rendering is significant in Britain due to the climate of Britain, which is
damp and high in humidity. This climatic condition is ideal for sand and cement renders in
that it slows the curing time. Similar condition applies to the Malaysia’s climate, which is
also damp and humid all year long.
17. Groin Vaulting
A vault is a ceiling of brick, stone or concrete built in the principle of the arch. A groin
vault is formed when a barrel vault is intersected at right angles another barrel vault of
the same size. It was first exploited by the Romans but soon obscured by the
development of ribbed vaults of Gothic architecture. Its efficient form allows full
illumination from the sides as well as allowing minimum use of materials and labor over
the simple vault since the thrust is concentrated along the groins, so only at its four
corners need to be abutted.
Referring the image 2.7, groined vaults were implemented around the entrances of the
Mosque that permits additional openings for each section.

18. CONCLUSION
This study allowed us to carry out a building survey and inspections/site visits to record
and observe the architectural style of this mosque, Sultan Sulaiman Royal Mosque.
Across Malaysia, there are various types of mosque architecture with common
properties/features, whereas others stand out as more unique. This paper presents an
analysis of the Sultan Sulaiman Royal Mosque built in 1932. The study classifies and
describes the various features and elements of the mosque to better understand which
architectural style mostly influenced its design and construction. Moreover, it is clear that
the Art-Deco style is apparent throughout this design, with of course the influence of
Western Art Deco and Neo-classical Architecture, as described by the specific features in
the report.
Befitting its great historical value, the Sultan Sulaiman Royal Mosque was declared a
National Heritage by the Minister of Information Communications and Culture, YB Dato
Seri Utama Dr. Rais Yatim on 10 May 2012, at the National Heritage Declaration
Ceremony.
The practice of building conservation which includes the works of repair and
maintenance may guarantee this buildings life span. It is a process which leads to the
prolongation of the life of cultural property. Building conservation should be seen as a
way of preserving particular aspects of Malaysia's history and development. In most
cities and towns in Malaysia, the mosques are usually more distinctive than other
buildings, and the Sultan Sulaiman Royal Mosque is one of them. Sometimes, mosques
of unique architectural styles become the landmarks and focal points in the streets. This
results in the formation of a unique identity to the urban area which may enhance the
Muslim communities and cultures.
