Brief Explanation
Theme :
The theme that I had chosen is Architecture in Kuala Lumpur. Architecture is an
art merged with science and technology, acquainted with history, nature and the
future. The architecture of Kuala Lumpur is a blend of old colonial influences,
Asian’s tradition, Malay Islamic inspiration and post modern. For Asian’s tradition
and Malay Islamic inspiration buildings, there are different style of architecture.
Concept : ( Details for Religious Places )
Malaysia is a multi races country. Therefore , we had a lot of different religion
and we had different religious place for respective races to workship at in
Malaysia. There were Hindu Temple , Mosque , Chinese temple and more. Every
religion had their own style of architecture and among all the different religious
place had their own style of design or architecture. For example, there were a lot
of church in Malaysia. But, every church had their own unique design and
arhictecture.
From the postcards, They will be introduced the different design of different type
of religious place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

mosque was built on the first Malay burial ground in the city. Before the national
mosque, Masjid Negara, was opened in 1965, Masjid Jamek served as Kuala
Lumpur's main mosque. The architect was Arthur Benison Hubback.
Holy Rosary Church, Jalan Tun Sambanthan
Little is recorded of the history of the church. But of what little is known,
we get the glimpse of the missionary spirit at the turn of the century which led to
the building of the Holy Rosary Church, and the growth of the church in keeping
with the development of Kuala Lumpur. The Holy Rosary Church with its very
