History Of Art and Design

MJ's statue, entrance of Hard Rock cafe, Penang

Abraham Lincoln memorial, Washington. DC

The first picture is statue of Michael Jackson. It duplicates the ideas from the statue of Abraham Lincoln in Washington DC. The architect uses Greek style to decorate the memorial of Abraham Lincoln. This MJ's statue somehow duplicate some Greek culture because it is almost the same as the original statue of Abraham Lincoln.

Sample of Egypt era pillar

Pillar of Marrakesh Morocco area, Sunway Pyramid

The second picture is taken in Sunway Pyramid along the Marrakesh Morocco area. This picture shows one of the pillar in the mall is encrypted with Egyptian hieroglyphics. We uses hieroglyphics as a decoration is because of its unique characteristics. The hieroglyphics on the pillar is not the original hieroglyphics but they replace it to something like we know. For example, camera. I remember I went to Sunway Pyramid and saw there's a camera hieroglyphic on the big pillar at the main entrance of the mall. This mean that we uses more simple icon to represent a thing exactly like what the Egyptians are doing in the past.

Egyptian's pyramid

Twin Tower, KL, Msia

The third picture is our Malaysians' pride, the Twin Tower. We can see that the design of the Twin Tower and the pyramid is almost the same. It has layers which the bottom layer of the building is the largest and eventually it became smaller when it goes further up high. It is designed this way so that our building look tall and stable. The Twin Tower is one of the sky-scrapper in Malaysia. It is the symbol of our country. We can easily find these pictures of Twin Tower almost everywhere. 

Sarawak's Post Office

The fourth picture is taken in Sarawak. It is the main post office in Sarawak. The pillars of this building uses the elements from Greece. The pillar of the building shows the unique of its building by adding some classical elements on that pillars. Besides that, it is designed high to show the standard of its building.
