Entry 1: Introduction

A little introduction about me and this lovely architectural blog! 

I’m Shully, a Degree Year 1 student who studying in Interior Architecture and Design in The One Academy, Bandar Sunway.

The objective of this blog is to provide the information and knowledge about Malaysian Architecture.“What is Malaysian Architecture?”

As you know that, our Malaysian food are always the famous travel purpose and there is plenty and varies food which can suits everyone’s appetite. BUT THEN, the architecture of Malaysia is also an important information to know because they are from different style of architecture and its may have their own design purposes and stories.

Malaysian architecture which first come in to my mind is all about the three main races that we have in Malaysia which is Malay, Chinese and Indian. The culture and tradition of these three main races were affecting the architecture we have in this country. Not only that, from our history shown that our country were concurred by other countries too such as Portuguese, Holland, British and Japan. Therefore, the architecture of Malaysia has been gone through different design and style and now it became a country which provides different architecture style.

Influences can become an inspiration for local architects to improve in architecture field. Influences as in structures or buildings which left over from the war, from the other countries, they became the identity and trademark for Malaysia's history. 

Stay tuned for the next post which I will start writing about Vernacular Malaysian Architecture.
