Islamic Palladian and Neoclassicism

The Perdana Putra (Jawi: ) is a building in Putrajaya, Malaysia which houses the office complex of the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Located on the main hill in Putrajaya, it has become synonymous with the executive branch of the Malaysian federal government.

History

Construction began in 1997 and was completed in early 1999. The building was first occupied in April 1999 after all sections of the Prime Minister's Department moved from Kuala Lumpur to Putrajaya. The former building of the prime minister's office was in Jalan Dato Onn, Kuala Lumpur, where it was transformed into a museum today. The museum is named Memorial Negarawan, commemorating the independence of Malaya, Sabah, and Sarawak.

Architecture

The structural design is influenced by Malay, Islamic and European cultures as such Palladian and Neoclassicism. It was designed by an aQidea Architect (Ahmad Rozi Abd Wahab being the principal architect) with inspiration from the 4th, 7th and former Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad.

The column evokes Mogul design and the sphere was a replica of Zahir Mosque dome at Alor Setar.
