The Curious Architecture Of Bandar Seri Begawan

Suave Sultan? Muslim Mashup? In Brunei's capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, the government architecture is a curious mix of traditional Islamic style with a hefty dose of fantasy sultan bling thrown in for impressive measure.

Municipal building, rich.


An example of older downtown architecture, hints of Moorish fantasy. Reviewing stand, trimmed for royalty.

What's being reviewed? The Sultan, of course.


More government bling and a fancy gate.

A fun mix of restrained mid-century, International style modern bones with royal adornment.
