Architecture In Malaysia

Architecture in Malaysia has been heavily influenced by the country's rich cultural heritage, including the influence of pre-colonial Malays, Chinese and Indian architecture. This has resulted in a diverse landscape that draws from a variety of styles, from traditional Malay designs to modern, cutting-edge aesthetics. The result is a unique fusion of cultures that is reflected in the country's architecture. Modern buildings often incorporate traditional materials, such as teakwood and bamboo, in their construction, alongside more contemporary materials such as steel and concrete. Additionally, many contemporary structures feature a mix of traditional and modern design elements, creating a truly unique feel.
