This is a stadium in Malaysia which influenced by the Greek’s architecture and named Bukit Jalil Stadium. The shape is totally same with the Greek theatre, and it is used for sports event sometimes it also will be used for special event like concert. The reason why the Malaysian architect was using the Greek design maybe is the shape of the Greek theatre is functional, it enable all the audiences to watch the performance clearly and it also have a good ventilation system.

This is one of the architecture influenced by Greek. Malaysia’s Chinese are using the dragon caryatids to support their cultural building which is a place called Temple and people use it for praying. The caryatids of Greek are often carved with women or man, but in temple of Chinese the caryatids are different. They use dragon to decorate the column because dragon in Chinese symbolizes power and excellence, valiancy and boldness, heroism and perseverance, nobility and divinity. They used the dragon caryatids to support their religious building maybe they want to let people know the greatness of their god and their religion.   

This is a picture of a Malaysia’s Chinese coffin which influenced by Egyptian culture. This is related to Egyptian’s belief in afterlife, Chinese afterlife theory are similar to Egyptian and both of them are believe the deceased will be reborn after a period of time, so they use coffin to protect the dead body. But the coffin of Egyptian and Chinese is quite different, because majority of Chinese coffin was using red and gold to design. Chinese use red and gold color to design the coffin because the red and gold color is a symbol of fortune for Chinese. They hope the people who passed away will get a better life in their afterlife so they use the fortunate color to design the coffin.

The above is a picture of Mosque which located in Malaysia. It is a place of worship for followers of Islam and this building is quite similar to the ancient Greek sacred place because it is influenced by the Greek culture. The architecture was using the classical Greek’s design to design the Mosque, they applied the Greece architecture on the pillar of Mosque which called Doric column, the concept column was borrowed from the ancient Egypt, but  the Greeks perfected it and made it their own. The Doric column is used to support the building and it is associated with strength. Our architect was using it to design maybe they want to show the stability and strength of Islam to people and make the building look classical.

The above is a picture which showing the influence of Egyptian afterlife theory. It is similar to Egyptian’s afterlife theory, Chinese believe after human died they will go to another place for their new life. They burn ‘Bullion paper’ or incense for their family who is already died because they believe the money will be received and needed by them to use it during afterlife. Chinese and Egyptian afterlife theory has this similarity maybe the Egypt afterlife theory is logical for those who believe in the presence of god and this is the better way for them to accept the truth about their friend or family has pass away.
