<span class=heading><b>3D Modelling Of A Famosa Fortress, Malaysia Based on Comparison of Textual and Visual Data</b> by Mohamad Izani (Architecture)</span><br />This research presents an attempt to model the ’A Famosa Fortress’ in Malaysia into 3D. This building was built in 1511 by the Portuguese and went through several architectural developments and changes before being largely destroyed during the British occupation in 1824. The biggest challenge in this research is to determine the original fortress layout due to the lack of any authoritative documentation pertaining to the fortress. Detailed analysis has been conducted to identify reliable sources for references which are available in the form of text and visual.  We then pre-visualised the layout in 3D model. The results are presented as a complete 3D model of the A Famosa fortress.<br /><span class=small>Image: © 2013 Mohamad Izani</span>
