This book explores how Malaysia, as a multicultural modern nation,
has approached issues of nationalism and regionalism in terms of
physical expression of the built environment. Ever since the
nation's post-Colonial era, architects and policy makers have
grappled with the theoretical and practical outcomes of creating
public architecture that effectively responds to traditions,
nationhood and modernity. The authors compile and analyse
prevailing ideas and strategies, present case studies in
architectural language and form, and introduce the reader to
tensions arising between a nationalist agenda and local
'regionalist' architectural language. These dichotomies represent
the very nature of multicultural societies and issues with
identity; a challenge that various nations across the globe face in
a changing environment. This topical and pertinent volume will
appeal to students and scholars of urban planning, architecture and
the modern city.
