1.Embrace of the future
KLCC
Petronas Towers were completed in 1998 after a seven year build and became the tallest buildings in the world on the date of completion. They were built on the site of Kuala Lumpur's race track. Because of the depth of the bedrock, the buildings were built on the world's deepest foundations.
KLCC towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia's Muslim religion. Most of the design is geometric and organic shape,
The conclusion,why is it embrace of the future is the design that they complete on 2004 still keep and maintain showing the modern design until now and also will keep the modern design for the future.

2. Freezing of the Past
Rodger street or known as Jalan Hang kasturi is a historical building that were built by British who were ruling Malaya at that time on 1909. The building is a Neo-classical structure. Some of the building uses a alternating roofline and window shapes link on two-storey building.
The design of the building shows the freezing of the desing from the past. There is no modification on the building that make the building and the place so precious with the historical view.

The history of Central Market goes back to 1888 where the location it now stands was used as an open wet market. Later when the open market continued to expand, a permanent structure was built to house all vendors. By the 1930s, the permanent structure was further improvised to have the current facade which we can see today and hence on opened its doors to Kuala Lumpur’s growing population as a wet market.
The building underwent another facelift to renovate the building from a wet market to a Centre for Malaysian Culture, Arts and Handicrafts. Ever since then the façade remained unaltered to retain the charm of the yesteryear.
The British government eventually took over the market and extended it to 250 feet long and 90 feet wide. At the same time, the floor was laid with concrete tiles, the walls were clad with timber and the roof covered with zinc sheets.

4.Cultural Crossroads
Petaling Street or known as Chinatown among tourists is the centre of Kuala Lumpur's original Chinatown. The street with a pre old shop house on the both side of the road. Chinese people are the majority that flooding the Petaling Street.
What makes this place so unique and still interesting for old/new visitors is the compactness of the spaces esp. the passageways in between the stalls, the two way path of hardly 1 meter-wide, some of which were already invaded by the racks of bags and shirts or cantilevered extension of the tables

5. Collapsing Identity
Shophouses along Jalan Hang Kasturi pedestrian mall are mostly Neo-classical design however there is one of them that is unknown identity.The design and the structure of the shop does not show the identity of the building.A building should have a strong concept for the design and aesthetic design.
