Showcasing the splendour of Perak, this book is a comprehensive record of the state’s built heritage. Over 150 landmarks—and countless architectural details—are featured, each painted in watercolour by one of three talented Malaysian artists. Commencing with an introductory chapter covering the state’s architecture and history, the book leads the reader through the diverse range of building styles found in Perak, from vernacular dwellings to Neoclassical schools and from grand Mogul mosques to Art Deco cinemas. Landmarks from each of Perak’s nine districts are featured, including bridges, memorials and the giant structures of the tin mining industry.
