Introduction
Klang Valley is a rich source of architectural heritage dated from pre-colonial, colonial, post independence until present times. The
historical richness creates a very vibrant architectural fabric. The modern architecture emerges rapidly from 1950’s to 1970’s as the
economic growth spurs. This follows the international style that spreads across the world in 1930’s to 50’s. However, many historical
modernistic buildings may face risk of being demolished to make way for more contemporary buildings. Thus, by recording, documenting
and analysing the buildings, we can contribute to preserve the historical evidence of the valuable Modern Architecture in Klang Valley. The
findings are to be compiled in essays and to be submitted using a web book platform. Web book is a publication in digital form, consisting
of text (report), images, or both.
