Our architecture

Still relevant despite the passage of time, Tajuddin Rasdi⁰́₉s musings on the state of architecture in Malaysia remain essential readings for both experts and the public. There remains a relative lack of public discourse on architecture, since much of it circulates within the professional sector and academia.
