Criticism on Malaysian Architecture Identity Debate

Send us Fan MailIf the Berita Harian news article is anything to go by, the use of the Malaysian identity debate is a poor strategy if it’s relegated to the patterns, embellishment, motifs, and decorations on skyscrapers.Scraping at the bottom of the barrel in terms of ideas to debate about, it is disappointing in the least, that the debate on the Malaysian identity is actually to advocate for mega-big projects for local architects.There is so much more to debate and discuss regarding Malaysian architectural identity and we need to be more critical to get the right attention from the Government or the general public. © 2023 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd YaacobThe image is from Universiti Teknologi Petronas Library in 2023 (Taken by Naziaty Mohd Yaacob) Support the showDo subscribe for premium content and special features which will help to support and sustain Talk Architecture podcast on a more in-depth explanation on design thesis and processes.
