| Summary: | The architecture of government buildings has a role in representing ideology and identity. In addition to its functions, the architecture of a government building cannot ignore the existence of political directions and certain references which are used as the basis for building a narrative of its identity. Between 1955 and 2020, 29 countries have moved their capital cities, two of which (Kazakhstan and Malaysia) put more emphasis on identity aspects in the design of government building areas. The prominence of identity aspects in the government buildings of Kazakhstan and Malaysia raises questions about the motives behind it; the ways architecture play a role in expressing national identity; and identity representation in the context of national capital relocation. More than that, zeitgeist also plays a role in defining identity and narrative of the capital relocation.
This research will be carried out in two stages. The first stage is a critical study of identity narratives in the cases of national capital relocations during 1955-2020. This stage includes a desk study of identity narrative texts in capital relocation cases during the 1955-2020 period. The second stage is a desk study on two specific case studies, the relocation of the capital cities of Kazakhstan and Malaysia, specifically the new government building areas in the cities of Astana, Kazakhstan and Putrajaya, Malaysia as well as the government building areas in the previous capital city. This study was conducted using the advocative-interpretative architectural criticism method. The critique process considers historical aspects, socio-cultural conditions, economics, domestic politics, and geopolitics. The data sources used are written sources on media coverage and studies of the relocation of the capital city.
