Nestled in Zhongshan Building is Malaysia's very own cave of wonders: The Malaysia Design Archive (MDA). Initially a website in 2008, it is not just a collection of vintage images—rather, MDA promotes visual literacy to the general public by studying the context, themes and history of the illustrations and photographs from the colonial era to the present. Here to connect the dots between graphic design and the humanities are MDA members Chua Pei Ying and Nadia Nasaruddin.
