描述
Recent Malaysian Architecture examines the most interesting and significant buildings designed over the last decade.
The final nationalistic ‘mega-projects’ of the 1990s provide a starting point, with progress then charted through a switch to a more localised craft-based architecture.
Of particular interest is the reawakening interest in Malaysia’s architectural heritage, and the conscientious attention given to the conservation and adaptive re-use of historic buildings.
Introductory essays by Philip Goad and Ngiom provide critical overviews of the status of Malaysian architecture. 56 projects are then documented with photographs, drawings and project analysis.
