METHODS OF DOCUMENTATION AND MEASURED DRAWING (ISTANA BANDAR)
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.

The document summarizes the book "Learning From Las Vegas" by Robert Venturi, Denise Scott Brown, and Steven Izenour. The book addresses the irrelevance of modern architecture to local context and advocates learning from history and tradition to give architecture a sense of identity and place. It proposes considering the existing context rather than imposing completely new forms. As an example, the document compares the KLCC towers in Kuala Lumpur to the surrounding urban sprawl, noting that the towers created a new identity that did not respond to the original culture and architecture of Malaysia.
Theorizing Architecture : Putrajaya International Convention Centre
The document analyzes and theorizes the Putrajaya International Convention Centre in Putrajaya, Malaysia. It discusses how the building's design by Hijjas Kasturi Associates draws from theories of semiotics and responds to the geographical and climatic context. Some key points analyzed include how the circular form represents local symbols, how much of the building is submerged into the hill to minimize land use, and how passive design strategies like louvers, overhangs, and greenery help mitigate the tropical climate. The conclusion is that no single theory or factor alone shaped the building, but rather it integrated multiple considerations into its iconic design.

The document analyzes and theorizes the Putrajaya International Convention Centre in Putrajaya, Malaysia. It discusses how the building's design by Hijjas Kasturi Associates draws from theories of semiotics and responds to the geographical and climatic context. Some of the theories applied include referencing a traditional Malay warrior belt buckle and kite in its circular form, and submerging spaces into the hillside to minimize footprint and preserve the landscape. Passive design strategies help utilize local climate, including a louvered facade, angled glass, overhanging roof, and surrounding greenery. The building serves as a model for Putrajaya's concept of balance between architecture and nature.
Reflective essays the three magnets
Ebenezer Howard's theory of the Three Magnets proposed integrating the best aspects of town and country living into planned communities called garden cities. Putrajaya, Malaysia aimed to realize this vision by developing a new federal administrative center surrounded by greenery with integrated transportation and mixed land uses. However, Putrajaya faces challenges in attracting people from Kuala Lumpur due to its distance and lack of amenities, and has become more exclusive with luxury housing rather than the affordable, socially mixed community envisioned by Howard.

History 2 essay royal klang club
The Royal Klang Club was founded in 1901 as a recreation center for British colonists in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. It began as a wooden bungalow but a proper clubhouse was built in 1906 on land donated by the Sultan of Selangor. The clubhouse was completed in 1910 and included a hall, dining room, bar, billiards room, guest rooms, and a theater. Over time additional facilities like a swimming pool and annex were added. While initially restricted to Europeans, the club began allowing Malaysian members after independence. The club fell into disrepair but was rebuilt in the 1970s and 1980s under Malaysian leadership and continues today as a social hub in Klang.
