The embrace of the future at the KLCC zone and it is just a part of Kuala Lumpur developed areas. The convention centre of Kuala Lumpur is very modern style and it’s also built by different kind of shapes and form by using steel material and glass, so architects created the design of this building to be more attractive for people, because it visited by different people with different minds. The building used more steel columns than concrete around the whole building. The area of KLCC got many style around it but the best is Petronas Towers it was and it is very attractive towers.
2. Freezing of the Past

Freezing the past we can find it in this building where it is at the central market area of Pasar Sini. The building is still keeping it’s style and texture, the beauty of Malaysian design. This house built in 1914 so it is almost 96 years old. Pasar Sini were the heart of Kuala Lumpur before the new city built, the beautiful thing that everything in this area Still as it was they didn’t change the design of those building even the new building are nearly designs like traditional designs of Malaysia .
3.Transition between the Past and the Present

Al-syakirin mosque , it’s located at one of the most modern zones of Kuala Lumpur it’s KLCC area. The mosque actually is very new, but the shape and the style of it is very old as Islamic form of mosque, so the designers of the mosque tried and done the modern materials and structure with old style and shapes. The dome is made of steel, marble and glass as we see but the style and form of the dome used to built by stones in past time, but for nowdays the materials are very easy to use and play with the shapes with the same texture and design of the past. So the dome is just one example of many.
4.Cultural Crossroads
This building located in Petaling Street near by central market area of Pasar Sini. The photo was taken 09/08/2010.
Actually we can call this building a culture crossroads because if u look at the building we will get the different forms and designs. This building used a Malaysia window style it has many openings for ventilation and air movement. Columns built as European form we can see that on the texture of the columns and the shape, so the third culture is Chinese style where it is placed at the top of the building as a decoration of it.
5. Collapsing Identity
This photo taken at the China Town shops area. The photo taken on 09/08/2010
This part of China Town is one of the new space in Kuala Lumpur. This area designed and planned as a new space for people to get around easily during their shopping time or selling as well. This area is very open area for the ventilation and the air movement, because there are a lot of visitors to this area so people need to have air for cooling the area. The roof form built by steel and glass. The shops as well designed as a new structure planned so we can call this area a Collapsing of Identity because the whole area around got very old styles and building but the street is almost new so that’s the main different.
