| Abstract | This paper discusses a level of influence of colonial style to Indian Muslim monuments built in George Town, Penang during colonial time. George Town was the earliest British settlements in Malaysia as well as in South East Asia. From 1786 to 1957, this town functioned as a port city of British East India Company. A colonial era had influenced the architectural style of the buildings built in George Town. This study focusses analysis of the architectural style and its impact to the Indian Muslim monuments. Indian Muslims were the first traders who migrated to Penang as well as Indian Hindus under the British administration. This study applied qualitative research method to the architectural style by referring to classical colonial elements. Three most popular Indian Muslim buildings namely Kapitan Keling Mosque, Madrasah Hamidi Arabi and Nagore Durgha Sheriff Shrine were selected as the case studies for the analysis. The result shows that arcade, corbel, cornice, parapet wall, pedestal, architrave, and round arch are among favourite neoclassical motifs integrated into the building design of the Indian Muslim monuments. This study concludes that apart from the British administrative buildings, Indian Muslim buildings have a reflection to the colonial architectural style. |
