Thoughts on Malaysian architecture identity and design principles of Malayan architects co-partnership. Doctoral thesis, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. (2015)



Abstract

Malaysian architecture today is a syntheses of architectural languages in which many are strongly influenced by western ideas, ranging from the NeoClassical to the International Style and Post Modernism. Since early 1950s, architects and leaders in Malaya realized that many new buildings built in the country lack Malayan identity and was insensitive to Malayan context. They called for architecture for Malaya through the publication of several articles in PET A; the Journal of the Federation of Malaya Society of Architects (Honey, R. 1960; Morley, P.G. 1958; Posener, J. 1957; Yong, K.P. 1956; Hewish, R.A. 1956; Noone, R.O.D. 1955; Morley, P.G. 1955; Templer, G. 1954)
