The historical richness creates a very vibrant architectural fabric. Modern architecture emerged rapidly from the 1950’s to 1970’s in tandem with economic growth. This followed the international style that spread across the world in the 1930’s to 50’s. However, many historical modernistic buildings may face risk of being demolished to make way for more contemporary buildings. Thus, by recording, documenting and analysing the buildings, we can contribute to preserve the historical evidence of the valuable Modern Architecture in the Klang Valley. The findings are to be compiled in essays and to be submitted using a web book platform. Web book is a publication in digital form, consisting of text (report), images, or both. From a group of 4 students. Will conduct a research and architectural analysis on a selected building.
