REFLECTION
Undertaking my Architectural History and Theory assignment focused on the Parliament Building Malaysia proved to be an immersive exploration. The iconic structure served as a captivating lens through which I traced Malaysia's architectural evolution, uncovering a seamless blend of tradition and modernity. This assignment necessitated a meticulous architectural analysis, delving into the mosque's narrative across historical periods and regional influences.
As I delved into my research, the Parliament Building emerged as a potent symbol of Malaysia's cultural diversity and identity. However, it also highlighted challenges, particularly concerning the potential risks posed by contemporary urban development. This realization transformed the assignment from a mere academic pursuit into a call to action, emphasizing the urgency of documenting and preserving the mosque's historical and cultural legacy.
Translating my findings into an A4 poster and booklet introduced a practical and visual dimension to the academic exercise. The submission of this compilation to the Taylor’s Integrated Moodle E-Learning System (MyTIMeS) underscored the broader significance of contributing to collective knowledge.
In conclusion, this assignment offered a profound initiation into Architectural History and Theory, enhancing my understanding of the intricate relationship between architecture and cultural identity. It instilled a sense of responsibility in safeguarding the rich heritage embodied by the Parliament Building, providing a guiding tone for future architectural inquiries and analyses.
