I've been to the Tung Shin Hospital quite a few times but never really get to know thw history of this place. This project gave me the oppurtunity to know more about this historical place in Kuala Lumpur, we actually really glad that there is still a library in the hospital where most of the history information of Tung Shin Hospital is kept, we learned a lot throught this journey because we analysed the architecture styles of the buildings in Tung Shin Hospital by ourselves by going through the lecture slides and web pages, we learned more about the specific features during the specific modern era and able to identify the styles of them.
