ARCHITECTURE HISTORY & THEORY

(ARC 60804)

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS REPORT : To learn and understand more about the architectural transformation in Malaysia which had taken placed during the Independence in 1957. It is when new icons of Malaysia were created and expressed during that period of time. As many Malaysian buildings during that era had not been recorded for the future and present time. Which is why recording this significant heritage in Malaysian architecture is key before it disappears
For this assignment, we are assigned to do a comparative research analysis on 2 particular buildings, one modern and one ancient in Kuala Lumpur. We are to design a booklet which consist of the buildings organisational form and space, circulation, axis relations, massing ant etc. The A4 booklet was to be submitted in both hardcopy and softcopy. The requirement was a minimum of 10 pages and this is a group project.
Consequently, our group conducted site analysis and went to each selected locations to take photos and note down subsequent key elements of the buildings. We were also separated into pairs on site to maximise productivity.
Our booklet consists of 2 parts. The top is Chin Woo Stadium and the bottom being Sunway Pyramid. To bring it up a notch, we did this by using drawings and sketches instead of using the images we've taken on site. From the booklet, you can see that our theme is mainly black and white and we were trying to go for a more elegant ans sophisticated theme. The two parts of the booklet was also separated creatively through an inverted mode for the respective buildings to intrigue readers.
THE BOOKLET :
This project gave an in-depth comprehension behind the functionality and aesthetic value of historical buildings around Kuala Lumpur. Equipping us with analytical, research and critical thinking skills, the assignment fostered a deep appreciation and love for the art form of architecture.
