here's a space for you to share on architecture in malaysia - buildings, bus stops, lorongs, mamaks, squatters, skyscrapers, houses, temporary pavillions etc.

anything that you think is intriguing, ugly, beautiful, historical, overrated, underrated, whatever.

feel free to post pics you've found or taken.

care to share what it is and where, and perhaps some context?

it's the malay college in kuala kangsar.

I've always like colonial architecture. It has a historical feeling in it and I've always love history.

don't forget this one.

This is probably Kuala Lumpur's main icon for the best of its years before KLCC. And I think that Bumiputra HQ building should be torn down. heaven forbid. Its ugliness is well beyond the 70s!

The Bumiputra HQ of course can be seen in the picture. It's that building with a huge black box on it.

And come to think of it, I think the worst architectural designs come from the 70s and the 80s!
