Project 2 – Web Book
KLANG VALLEY IS A RICH SOURCE OF ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE DATED FROM PRE-COLONIAL, COLONIAL, POST INDEPENDENCE UNTIL PRESENT TIMES. THE HISTORICAL RICHNESS CREATES A VERY VIBRANT ARCHITECTURAL FABRIC. THE MODERN ARCHITECTURE EMERGES RAPIDLY FROM 1950’S TO 1970’S AS THE ECONOMIC GROWTH SPURS. THIS FOLLOWS THE INTERNATIONAL STYLE THAT SPREADS ACROSS THE WORLD IN 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 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.
STUDENTS ARE TO FORM A GROUP OF 5 STUDENTS. THE GROUP WILL CONDUCT A RESEARCH AND ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS ON A SELECTED BUILDING. EACH GROUP WILL SELECT ONE BUILDING FROM THE GIVEN LIST. THE GROUP MAY ALSO CHOOSE THEIR OWN MODERN BUILDINGS AROUND KLANG VALLEY.
