As the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur has a fascinating history combining Malay, Islamic, Chinese, Indian and colonial British influences.It indicated an end of the Federation of Malaya and of British colonial rule when Malaya gained independence from the British Empire in 1957 and formed Malaysia in 1963. Although British colonial rule which began in the early 1800s had end, it had left behind some impressive examples of colonial architecture mostly clustered around Kuala Lumpur’s Old City Centre.

RFusion architecture can be defined as architecture style that combines culture, technology, style, shapes and even ‘time’.
Fusion architecture can combines the classic elements and the modern elements together in
a single structure. Some say fusion architecture is the combination of beauty and I totally agree with that. There are no rules that limit in fusion architecture, creativity
move freely, just like ‘the sky is the only limit of creativity’. This is why I like fusion
architecture style.
