Why do we need to conserve, and what is our moral obligation towards old buildings? Dr Johannes Widodo put it as such: “Conservation is the management of change.

The bronze statue of the Hindu monk and saint Swami Vivekananda, for which this building is his namesake, adds to the site’s history—this was where the early Sri Lankan Jaffna immigrants first settled in Malaysia. FuturArc's latest issue, 𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝, dives deep into the functional and aesthetic sufficiency of old buildings in line with sustainable principles.

As a shading device, they are extremely effective not only in cooling the shops themselves, but also the area along the five-foot way. 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗢𝗢𝗡! FuturArc's next issue, 𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐝, will dive deep into the functional and aesthetic sufficiency of old buildings in line with sustainable principles. Stay tuned!
