When the construction of new government offices was fully extended, which the forceful state engineer, Charles Edwin Spooner decided it should be designed in variously known as neo-saracenic, new to Malaya or eclectic style. The process of architectural miscegenation was originated in India that have the combination of Indian Muslim, Gothic, Hindu and also other traditions, as an expression of the imperial achievement. Besides of its very novelty style posed of structural problems which led the prediction of the collapse of the central tower in Kuala Lumpur. The sceptics were proved wrong after a century later. Arthur Hubback left the government service for private practice, and he returned in the year of 1901 until 1914 and he then designed a number of large buildings for public in the same style, including a state mosque, main railway stations in the city of Kuala Lumpur and in Hong Kong.

Although there was a little surviving documentation, University Teknologi Malaysia were able to provide some measured drawings and KTM possessed a few of the original 1908 scheme drawings in Arthur Hubback’s hand. These documents formed the starting point of their analysis form which four main design intentions developed :-

Although unaware of Arthur Hubback’s original design intentions, PAB (Perunding Alam Bina Akitek) saw the client’s need for additional office space during renovation as a means to rebalance the building. Originally they had proposed the demolition of the Maybank extension, but this was rejected on cost grounds in 1983. Instead, a new façade of sufficient depth to provide sun screening was added to the existing hybrid north wing
When you think your average baseball player, what do you think of? The player usually has all of his arms, legs, and no physical disabilities. Anyone who plays baseball would think it is hard to imagine that a person born without a right arm is able to play the game and let only be able to be a pitcher. Jim Abbott faces all the odds and has ten-year career in the major leagues. Abbott had to faces many obstacles throughout life and his playing career. Jim Abbott grew up being picked on since he didn’t have a right arm. When Abbott was younger he would use a steel hook as right hand and other children were afraid of him. Also, they called him names like Mr. Hook.
Due to the lack of evidence claiming they died and the overwhelming evidence that there is to back up that they are alive. I believe that the Anglin brothers successfully made it out of Alcatraz alive.
The Deconstruction of the building is one of the most important aspects of the building, The resources that i have found are related to the topic i have chosen (buildings systems) because it goes over important aspects of the building and helps us recognize how that these factors are related to the topic and also to help show that these where a large part of the death. The research that is to be presented is related to the factors of death on 9/11. The most contributing factors of the death on 9/11 was the Building system’s and how they were not completely prepared or not tested.

“In the Cause of Architecture” is an essay written by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1908. In this work, Wright outlines many of his architectural values. This text goes into great detail about the philosophy behind Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture, as well as many important milestones in his life, such as working for Adler and Sullivan. This text is useful because it comes straight from Frank Lloyd Wright himself. It talks about many things important to his role as a notable American, such as his influences for his architecture and his architectural

In order to create innovative public architecture, considered to be the most civic, costly, time intensive and physical of the arts, the project holds a degree of risk, strife, and negotiation . Overcoming these tasks and creating worthy public architecture is a challenge designers try to accomplish, but are rarely successful. The people involved in a potential public building, can be larger than the building itself. Public architecture tries to please all, even the doubters and critics, but because of the all these factors, a building is closer to failing than succeeding.

Last year, I was involved in designing a roof for a proposed Tate Modern extension in a project sponsored by architecture firm Ove Arup. For this, I gained a Crest 'Gold' Award but more importantly the opportunity to investigate something from a technical point of view, thus branching away from my mainly unscientific subject base.
