Moorish Domes & Spires

This is part of the Railway Station that was built in 1910 in Kuala Lumpur. Funnily enough, this style does not actually exist in islamic architecture in this part of the world. Its architect was a British named Arthur Benison Hubback, and the result is an anglicized version of islamic architecture. This style was made popular during British colonial rule in Malaysia, (then known as Malaya) and they had a hand in designing most of the prominent buildings of that time.
