The appearance of British colonial power in Malaysia led to the development of British colonial architecture with influences from Mughal and other styles. Many iconic buildings from this period incorporate Mughal design elements like domes, chhatris, and horseshoe arches. Specifically, Arthur Benison Hubback designed several important buildings in Kuala Lumpur that showcase these features prominently. His works still stand as historical landmarks representing Malaysia's multicultural heritage from the British colonial era.

BRITISH INDIA INFLUENCE TO FMS(FADERATED MALAY STATES) RAILWAY STATIONS (30TH JUNE 2015)
Geological environment and historical background of Malaya displayed an important role in the development of train system in Malaysia. The early local settlements of Malaya have mostly settled in the lowland and coastal area, with water transportation as a means of transportation for communication and trades. Malay kingdoms were cited and the capital was at a point near river mouths. However, later in the 19th century, rivalry takes part between the European powers for control of the tin deposits in Malaya. Tin became a significant raw material contributing to the industrial revolution. Large tin deposits were discovered in Sungei Ujong,Negeri Sembilan, in the valleys of Klang River and at Larut, Perak. In 1874, British came in to control the unrest in the tin-producing areas and later, residential system was established in Perak, Selangor and Sungei Ujong.
There was demand to connect the mines to the ports where first section of the Malayan Railway was opened between Taiping,Perak and Port Weld,Klang. During this era, the railway stations was made of wood and nipah palm. However, later, more townships in the state of Perak, Negeri Sembilan and Selangor developed along the roads. The town includes Taiping, Ipoh, Seremban and Kuala Lumpur. This resulted development in architectural design as well to the railway stations. In 1910, becoming the main railway station for the state of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur railway station has been relocated and was built as the first concrete station in town. Ipoh in the other hand serves as the main railway terminal for the state of Perak and was the second concrete station in 1920. Both buildings was designed by Arthur Benison Hubback whom was a British architectural assistant to the Director of Public Works of that time.
Therefour, this study will further evaluate the relationship of the Ipoh railway station in comparison to the Kuala Lumpur railway station architectural style from the influence of global industrial revolution era, as well as local political and historical influence.

Development of colonial architecture in indiaRohit Surekh
Development of Colonial architecture in India – Dutch, Portuguese, French and British architectural influences in India: merging of local architecture with various Colonial styles
When the British first made inroads into India, little impact had been, was, or even intended on being made. Structures were mainly reflective of their functions, simple warehouses and a number of rather temporary administration facilities with residences remaining few in number, these kept to the traditional and vernacular. However, as British interests in India expanded, more permanent structures were required to facilitate the infrastructure of the new British Raj- symbols of their new status as the power seat; a sense of permanence and prominence.
This project on Colonial Architecture in India will help us to :
Develop skills to gather data, investigate different view points and reach to a logical justification.
Appreciate the idea of architecture used by the Britishers.
Understand various features of British Architecture and respect the assimilation of different styles of buildings.

2. British Colonial Architecture
Introduction
The appearance of the colonial power, Great Britain in the 20th century has led to British Colonial
architecture in Malaysia. British Colonial architecture branches out to a few styles. Most of the British
Colonial architecture in Malaysia have Moghul architecture influence as the architects were in love with its
style. Both Tudor & Victorian styled buildings were also built during the British reign such as the Central
Market, National Art Gallery, Malaysia Tourism Center and Coliseum Theater.
Tudor styled building: Royal Selangor Club
3. List of British Colonial buildings covered
1. Old KL Railway Station
2. KTM Administrative Building
3. Masjid Jamek
4. City Theatre
5. Old High Court/Kementerian Pelancongan dan Kebudayaan Building
6. Sultan Abdul Samad Building
7. National History Museum
4. Old KL Railway Station
The present KL Railway Station building is actually the third station as there were actually two stations
previously built at different locations. The first was built in 1886 and located opposite the Selangor club. It
was called the Resident Station as it was near a British Resident’s house. The second station, Sultan Street
Station, was located in Foch Avenue (now known as Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock) and was built in 1892.
However it was demolished for the construction of modern roads in 1960.
The KL Railway Station building was completed in 1 August 1910 and replaced the Resident Station. The
architect of this building is Arthur Benison Hubback who is responsible for some of the iconic buildings in
Kuala Lumpur. The building is influenced by Mughal architecture which originated from India.
The key element of the building is the onion-shaped dome which sits on the chhatris that are supported by
eight pillars. ‘Chhatri’ means canopy or umbrella and common in Mughal architecture. The extensive use of
arches is also a feature of Mughal architecture.
5. KTM Administrative Building
Located opposite of the Old KL Railway Station is the KTM Administrative Building. It is also designed by the
same architect who is Arthur Benison Hubback. During the World War II, the KTM Administrative building
was bombed in its North Wing. Then in 1968, the second floor was engulfed by fire.
The key point of the building is the main dome has a cupola which is a smaller dome that sits on the bigger
dome. The cupola is sitting on top of the small pavillion. The word ‘cupola’ means a small cup. Besides that,
key-hole arches and horseshoe arches can be seen on the face of the building.
6. Masjid Jamek
This mosque is also built by Arthur Benison Hubback. In the 1990s, the centre dome collapsed and was
later rebuilt. The two red and white striped minarets at the corner are identical in design with chhatris on the
top. There are also many small chhatris on top of the entrances and corners of the Mosque.
7. City Theatre
The building takes the place of the old City Hall of Kuala Lumpur. As expected, it is designed by Arthur
Benison Hubback. A major fire occured in 1992 and destroyed the building. Architects and engineers had
reconstructed the interior and made mofications to the furnishings and sound system. Onion-shaped
domes can be seen at corners of the structure. There is also an extensive use of arches such as the
horseshoe arch.
8. Old High Court/Kementerian Pelancongan dan Kebudayaan Building
This building is designed by Arthur Benison Hubback as well. It’s distinctive feature are towers topped with
a cupola with decorative buttresses around the base. Passageways with two different types of arches,
horseshoe and painted horseshoe link the two towers together. The towers were originally used as dining
chambers with private tiffin rooms. The sides of the structure has two types of arches as well such as the
keyhole arches on the 1st floor and ogee arches on the ground floor.
9. Sultan Abdul Samad Building
Sultan Abdul Samad and the British government first used it as the Federated Malay States administrative
office. It was designed by A.C. Norman and R.A.J. Bidwell and built between 1894 and 1897. A prominent
element of the building is the red bricks with the white plaster lined arches. The building has a high clock
tower and two lower towers which are topped with onion-shaped copper domes.
10. National History Museum
The building was first occupied by The Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China (Now known as
Standard Chartered Bank) which was the first bank to be opened in Kuala Lumpur. It is designed by Arthur
Charles Alfred Norman or also known as AC Norman. Influenced by Mughal architecture, the domes are the
most prominent feature which are located on four corners of the building. The domes are constructed from
belian wood which is a resource commonly found in the Sarawak forest. The use of pointed horseshoe
arches can be seen at the entrance and the windows.

28. Summary
From this research, the appearance of the British colonial power has made Malaysia a multicultural country
and has brought about the creation of many beautiful buildings of different style and influences.
Specifically the Mughal architectural style, most buildings have the dome, chhatris and a variety of arches.
These stunning historical buildings are important heritage that should be preserved by the government as to
ensure its magnificence can be enjoyed by the future generations of Malaysia and as a memento of the
past.
