Concept and Theme

Concept that first came through my mind was we have got few different religions that

existing in our country, Malaysia. What makes us live in peace way is obviously

understanding each other to avoid conflict. And this is how I choose culture and focus on

religious places to understand the others even more. To dig more, I decided to visit few

different religions (Buddhism, Christian, Hindu and Islam).

I first opted for pattern found in religious places as my theme, and later add on

uniqueness to show that every religion has its own specialty that others do not. This

uniqueness of either building or pattern is mostly passing from the past until now. Pattern

is attractive to me as it shows different styles of architecture and brings out different

characteristics. Every pattern has its own story to show and convey to the viewers. Lastly,

patterns are a part of architecture; it can influence its design and the style to be used.

red wall symbolizes happiness and two stone lions and 2 guardians, Zhou Chang and

Sri Mahamariamman:

Gopuram (Main entrance) is decorated with 228 idols of deities symbolizing the

threshold between the spiritual and the material world. A 5-tiered gopuram shaped like a

pyramid. Garbagraham (Sanctum Sanctorum) is located in main prayer hall. Its shrine is a

detached building which has its own roof and walls.

National Mosque:

It has slightly influenced by British when Malaysia was colonized by British. It is also a

combination of cutting edge-modernist design and Islamic symbolism.  Design is based

upon the Grand Mosque in Mecca with 48 small domes and the main dome has the

character of a multi fold “semi-opened blue umbrella” that is the roof which symbolize

the 5 pillars of Islam and the 13 states of Malaysia. The 73 meter tall minaret has the

shape of a “closed blue umbrella”. 

St. Mary Cathedral:

St. Mart Cathedral is a church for the Anglican Diocese of West Malaysia. From one

small congregation in a simple wooden building 19th century on the present site beside

Dataran Merdeka. Within the church, old British style windows and feature or design can
