Description
Through a broad range of case studies spanning from imperial monuments to rural residences, Malayan Classicism puts forward a fundamentally new understanding of classical architecture in the Asian colonial context. Across Malaysia and Singapore, thousands of historic buildings are richly ornamented with motifs drawn from ancient Greece and Rome—as plump volutes, lush acanthus leaves, and neat rows of dentils decorate mosques, palaces, government buildings, and innumerable terraced shophouses.
