In this tutorial,i have research and go through of all kind of theme,and I plan
to do on the fusion architecture because the older Malaysian architecture is
mostly fusion architecture.For example,most of the building in Malacca are
build by other country such as England,British and France.For example,A
Famosa Fortress (Ruins of the original Portuguese fortress),Francis Xavier
Church (Gothic church built by the French Priest Father P. Fabre) and so far
so on.
Malaysia Architecture
A) The Modern Architecture in Malaysia
The architecture of Kuala Lumpur is a blend of old colonial influences, Asian traditions,
Malay Islamic inspirations, modern and post modern mix. Being a relatively young city,
most of Kuala Lumpur's colonial buildings were built toward the end of 19th and early
20th century. These buildings have Mughal, Tudor, Neo-Gothic or Grecian-Spanish style
or architecture. Most of the styling have been modified to cater to use local resources and
the acclimatized to the local climate, which is hot and humid all year around.
Independence coupled with the rapid economic growth from the 70's to the 90's, saw
buildings with more local and Islamic motifs arise in the central districts of the city.
Many of these buildings derive their design from traditional Malay items, such as the
head dress and the keris. Some of these buildings have Islamic geometric motifs
integrated with the designs of the building, such as square patterns or a dome.
Late Modernist and Post Modernist style architecture began to appear in the late 1990s
and early 2000s. Buildings with all-glass exteriors sprang up around the city, with the
most prominent example being the Petronas Twin Towers As an emerging global city in a
newly industrialized economy, the city skyline is expected to experience further changes
in decades to come with construction works like The Gardens, The Pavilion, Four
Seasons Place, Lot C of KLCC and many more.

Malay
Traditional Malay architecture employs sophisticated architectural processes ideally
suited to tropical conditions such as structures built on stilts, which allow crossventilating breeze beneath the dwelling to cool the house whilst mitigating the effects of
the occasional flood. High-pitched roofs and large windows not only allow cross-
Fusion architecture
What is Fusion?
The term "sky" is not intended to explain the opposite meaning of the word "grounded",
and instead contains the meaning of "arrogant". But what is here is to represent the power
of creativity no bounds. "Create on and experiment" that might be appropriate to describe
what is in the minds of every individual an architect or interior designer. Experimenting
with design, materials, style and the horse's bit, even experimenting with "budget".
What exactly is the purpose of "searching" this? When observed, the rich world of
information, along with various ease, be a reason and necessity in which each person
must have a "unique taste" because no other, man himself is an "individual" unique /
personally.
In the world of architecture and interior, the authenticity or the "Originality" of a
sometimes questionable design, combining a lot of ideas and concepts which sometimes
creates a new creative work that much more beautiful and attractive. Even compared with
the work of the previous reference.
Religious Places
Malaysia is unique culturally in two ways it is home to three of Asias most elaborate cultures (i.e.
the Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures) and most of the worlds major religions, all coexisting
together in harmony. Malaysias cosmopolitan nature traces its roots way back to the glorious era of
the Malacca Sultanate in the 1400s, when the city of Malacca became a vital centre for maritime trade
and cultural exchange for merchants from all over Asia and the Middle East. With the colonization of
the then Malaya under the British, the countrys cultural diversity was further enhanced with the influx
of large numbers of labourers and merchants from China and India in the 1800s and early 1900s, who
brought along with them their unique sets of faiths and religious systems, thus adding to Malayas
multireligious identity.
