“…The signified is the concepts and meanings of the signifier Recent studies adopting the semiotic architecture triangle include the architectural mechanism and the social-cultural background aspects (Suprapti and Iskandar, 2020;Parsaee et al, 2015;Heryati and Rachmawati, 2017) (Figure 1). Based on this, to comprehend the primary qualities of the architecture the research intends to analyse the architecture form of expression which constitutes the physical attributes of the form.…”

“…Like the outer surfaces of the urban structure, the public's perception of the built environment is predominantly influenced by the architectural symbols through the facades (Askari and Dola, 2009). Likewise, numerous researchers upon determining the meanings and concepts formed by the physical attributes of the architecture include these visual elements (Suprapti and Iskandar, 2020;Mishra and Kolay, 2019;Parsaee et al, 2015;El-Torky, 2018;Emiyagil and Akter, 2018;Permatasari, 2018;Heryati and Rachmawati, 2017): Architectural Typology, Building Configuration (Scale and Shape); Façade Texture and Material; Colour; Ornaments and Details; Fenestration; and Signages.…”

PurposeIn the face of urbanisation, there has been prior and current discourse on the gradual thinning out of street identities. Particularly, the diasporic identity of streets such as Petaling Street (Chinatown) has received increasing attention due to diverse development and gentrification plans for the purpose of tourism and urban development. Current and future urban development plans of Kuala Lumpur have led to the need to analyse Petaling Street's identity. Taking this as a point for departure, this paper aims to analyse the contemporary diasporic identity of Petaling street in the face of rapid urbanisation. While there have been studies that addressed Petaling Street's identity, the focus has been from social, cultural and perceptual perspectives which relates to the intangible aspect of place. Taking an alternative stance, this paper studies the contemporary meaning of Petaling Street through the visual communication of facades.Design/methodology/approachAdapting from Odgen–Richard and Parsaee, semiotics, or the study of signs and symbols, is applied as both theoretical and methodological concept to draw meanings. It examines the visual communication of the cultural products that have evolved from the social processes in shaping the street character. Particularly, this paper examines the street identities by studying the contestation of urban sign and symbols of selected street facades.FindingsThe findings reinforced the contestation of identities in Petaling street, with key signifiers of signages, ornament and colour being physical aspects that contest a sense of Chinese-ness. The functional meaning portrayed by the facades due to social, political and economic factors led to the contestations of meaning formed by society that has left the street in a state of irrelevant and unfamiliarity.Practical implicationsIt calls to action for retention of significant urban elements of street facades to prevent further diminution of diasporic meanings which characterise Petaling Street as a whole in the process of urbanisation.Originality/valueIt provides basis to understand the contemporary identity and values of Petaling Street and the shift in meanings that has left the street in a state of irrelevant and unfamiliarity. This can prevent further diminution of diasporic meanings which characterise Petaling Street as a whole in the process of urbanisation.
