Pictures of architecture of classical Egyptian in Malaysia

The picture on the left hand side is Indian Jeweler. It show that the indian shop has use the style of Greek's architecture on the two columns in front of the shop. The two columns is build by the Corinthian order which is the most decorative and is usually the one most modern people like best. The Corinthian capitals have a very unique and attractive style that will catch the viewer's attention at the first sight. The shaft of the columns has flutes while the base is almost like the Ionian although the base is look a little too high compare to the acient times.





The picture on the left hand side is the HSBC bank building in Ipoh. The style of the building is almost like the Egyptian style and also looks like Inggeris style. It is very attractive and it give us a sense of historical. The most attractive is the repetition of columns they used in the middle part. The columns is the Ionic order which normally taller than Doric orders. From the picture, they build so many columns to balance up the building same as keep the weight of the building so that the building will not collapsed. The Ionic capital consist of a scrolls above the shaft and very decorative which make the whole building become attractive.



The left hand is the Bangunan KTM Berhad ( Railway Administration Building) at Kuala Lumpur. The design of the building is amazing and it almost like the old church in the old times. Besides that, this building also have the repetition of columns which is in Doric order which is very plain, but still have a powerful-looking in its design and is almost like Greek styles. From the first time I see this picture, it remind me as the oldest times of church building.



The left picture is the Municipal Council Building  in Georgetown. The building has the Greek style and the columns they use is almost like the Ionic order as the decorations of this building or for the balance of the building. The decorations and the position of columns made the whole building looks like a noble family house.



The picture in the left side is the Sri Mariamman temple in Johor Bahru. This indian temple is very colourful, attractive and have a good decorations. The part that is almost like the Greek style is the columns they build between the entrance and the roof top which is besides the statue. The columns they build is the Doric order which have the capital, shaft, base and padistal. So, the decorations made the temple become more effective to the Indian people come to pray to their god.
