Kedah: A History in Drawings

The late-modern history of Malaysia's most ancient state is narrated in this book via a series of buildings that shed light on a bygone era of Kedah rarely described in the English language. It celebrates a colonial and post-colonial design narrative with links to European, Thai and Malay architecture. Kedah: A History in Drawings offers the reader not just the visual delight of illustrated, measure drawings in the grand tradition of the classical architect but also presents a storyboard of the recent history of Malaysia's "cradle of civilization". It is a must-have for all those who support the conservation and celebration of Malaysia's diverse architectural and cultural heritage.
