5 Examples of Greek / Classical/ Egyptian Culture in Malaysia

Group work

- Week 6 -

The picture below is my selection of a picture about the example of Egyptian culture in Malaysia. 

Picture 1 : National Museum Kuala Lumpur vs Egyptian wall paint.

I choose National Museum Kuala Lumpur is because of the wall painting that appear at outside of the museum is quite similar with the Egyptian wall painting. I think that people added the wall painting as the way to commemorate the Egypt history. They want to bring out the art of history about Egypt and modern art. As the picture above, you can see that the colors and the style of drawing on the wall paint is quite same with the Egypt culture.They add more colors and the line is change from straight line become organic line. I think the wall paint is really a good idea and people will remember it by just looking at the painting.

Picture 2: National Stadium Bukit Jalil Malaysia vs Penathenaic Stadium Kallimarmaro Greece


As you can see that, the structure of the National Stadium Bukit Jalil Malaysia is similar to the Penathenaic Stadium Kallimarmaro Greece. All the seats are arranged into a loop shape, all the audiences can directly focus to the centre of the stadium. Besides that, they were seated in a tiered arrangement that reflected the rigidly stratified nature of Roman society. 

The picture above is about the structure of the seating arrangement.






Lee Wen Ming's selection of  the second picture

Picture 3 : Shah Alam Arch Selangor Malaysia vs Arch of Titus Rome


Now, I want to discuss about the similarity between two of the arch that design hundred century before and now. As you can see that, the Shah Alam Arch Selangor Malaysia have the similar arch as the Arch of Titus which have tall monument side by side. The Romans typically recorded historical occasions and identified monuments with solemn prose and beautiful inscriptions in stone, whereas Shah Alam Arch Selangor Malaysia typically recorded the "Thank you" sign at the arch that made by cement. Malaysian changed the shape of the arch to a shape of the muslim mosque which is the malay culture. They also changed the color of the arch, and make it more interesting. People will just look at it while pass through the arch.

 Picture 4:  St George Church in Penang 

The picture above is about the column in Greek.


The St George Church in Penang have been build based on the Greek culture as you can see from above. The column is exactly same with the Greek's. They motify the column become more modern style but still remain the main idea of the  structure which is round in 3D shape. They remain the color of the column also which is white color.

  Picture 5: Segi University College

The picture above show that the similar between the rounded boundary of the horizon. Both of the structure is rounded. The simple shape of the Pantheon's dome belies its sophisticated design and engineering. Segi motify some part about the colors and the whole structure but remain the stepped dome of the building and the rounded shape.
