This is the last project of cnc and meanwhile we are required to make a weekly journal during every tutorial to note down progress of every week. Today, we are required to make a new tab for this weekly journal. Then, i need to write a reflection based on the places and theme. Lecturers ask us to select a theme by today and then post the 5 places which we interested in our eportfolio. The theme that I have chosen is Fusion Architecture. The other options included Malaysian architecture, Religious architecture as well as spaces and people. Based on my opinion, fusion has a meaning of 'blend' or 'mix'. Moreover, fusion architecture is a type of architecture of blending of 2 cultures or elements or above. In malaysia, there is a lot of fusion architecture due to the colonial era had left pretty much heritage for the youngsters. The theme of the fusion architecture that I will be doing is either Art Deco building or Mughal and Moorish architecture.The structure of Art Deco is founded on mathematical geometric shapes which drew equally on Greco-Roman Classicism, the faceted architectural forms of Babylon, Assyria, Ancient Egypt, and Aztec Mexico. Mughal architecture was an amalgam of Islamic, Persian, and Indian architecture. I still not sure whether which kind of style is better for this assignment so I need lecturer's suggestions.
For Mughal and Moorish architecture I will do places as below :
Sultan Abdul Samad building which is one of the landmark of Kuala Lumpur

I am interested in this two topic which i have provided as above.
After researching on these information, I felt surprised that actually there are a lot of beautiful fusion architecture around us and I didnt realized at all. From this tutorial progress, my knowledge towards fusion architecture grow from zero to a higher level.
