Haron Mokhtar immortalises historical landmarks in his body of work. On the left is Menara Pavilion (Kuala Kangsar) with Chinese-inspired design as seen in its elevated roofs like a pagoda.
Another drawing depicts Masjid Tua which features a multi-tiered pyramidal hip roof also known as bumbung meru. Its structural elements are similar to Kampung Laut Mosque, the oldest surviving mosque in Malaysia located in Kelantan, which dates to around the early 18th century.
