If you’ve stopped by at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac) in Sentul recently, you’ve probably noticed something different about the place. And no, we’re not talking about the roadworks outside Sentul Park’s guardhouse.

The glass doors at KLPac entrance have gone through a makeover. And while most architectural renovations make a place look more modern, these go the other way. The doors now resemble an ancient passageway to an old Chinese temple or palace, with intricate blue designs reminiscent of fine porcelain pottery.
