Activity Week Presentation

HEY ALL!

Noticed that some of you have been enquiring about the presentation regarding the trips held during Activity Week. Anyway, have looked into it with some help (Thanks, Ms. Shereen!) and these are the details, if interested:

Date : Wednesday, 03/09/07 (tomorrow lah)
Venue : Level 8, B1-08-04
Time : About 11am to 1pm, however it most probably would run late - knowing the Taylors trend.

There will be presentations from the students who went to Hanoi, Seoul, Beijing, Sabah, India and others who I've missed, if I've missed. After that, there will be a prize-giving ceremony for the Hanoi peeps (apparently best presentation among the Hanoi peeps would win something REALLY EXTRAVAGANT), so hey! It should be something worth watching, no? I also heard there would be some sort of dance performance by the Beijing trip students, too ;) No promises tho.

Also, the exhibition of pictures and models and what nots will be ongoing till about 2-3pm, so maybe come for the exhibition only also would be good enough already lah.
Everyone's invited, come & see what we've learnt during the trips, the fun we had, and the embarassing moments relived :p

Asymptote Architecture announces the design of Penang Global City Center

Asymptote’s design for the PGCC complex is centered on the idea of creating a new and powerful image for the city of Penang and the new initatives associated with the development of the Northern Corridor of Malaysia. The design achieves its elegance and stature through the simultaneous embrace of natural landscapes and contemporary urbanism. The PGCC will become a vital new precinct that complements and enhances the unique characteristics that typify Penang as a remarkable island metropolis. The design of the iconic towers in particular draws inspiration from not only the lushness and drama of the surrounding mountains and seascapes, but also from the rich and diverse cultural heritage that makes up the Malaysian nation and Penang in particular. The forms of the two towers are comprised of both horizontal and vertical elements: sculpted horizontal components move across the plinth, rise up and transform into articulated vertical structures. Set against the backdrop of the nature reserve of Penang Hill, the twisting, glass façades of the towers “perform” various surface effects—reflecting, refracting and distorting views of Penang, the surrounding landscape and the seascape beyond. The vast, cascading plinth, which functions as a public plaza with multiple gathering spaces, are venues for the performing arts center, convention center and various facilities for residential, office and urban life.

What architecture students doing in the middle of night in studio?

Funeral in studio...

Those who had over night in studios undoubtedly have vivid memories. Late nights, exciting projects, extreme dedication, lasting friendships, long hours, punishing critiques, predictable events, a sense of community, and personal sacrifice all come to mind.

Those aspects are not usually written into the curriculum or even the design assignments, but they are likely the most memorable and influential. The experiences, habits, and patterns found within the architecture design studio make up what we have termed 'studio culture".

Quantifying a Surveyor's Life - Prelim

Greetings to all! As many may not know who am I, let me introduce myself. I was a Taylorian and also an SABD-ian (used to be SAQS) and fortunately graduated in December 2004. To be specific, I was from class 0201.

Starting off from Subang Jaya campus where we uses the classroom above SAM's office, we managed to fit ourselves into that studio-tutorial-lecture room. Soon after that, our school grew rapidly from just the only 10 QSes, 10 ARchis from direct entry, more joined in the big family in July 2001. At that moment our classroom usage spread to third floor of SAM block and even using CPU's classroom and lecture theatre (which i still remember LT5). Then second year was the time when our school decided to rent office units above Mediya (now extension of ADP) opposite the campus. That was the start of our school's domination where almost every Taylorian have seen our ARchi students carrying their models and large A1/A3 black bags around, in and out of the campus.

Towards the mid of second sem of 2002, Dr Kee gave us a shocking news. We are moving ! At the very first moment we thought our school actually bought up a building with few large spacious floors.. (as if!!) but we are actually not. We are just being relocated to some so called office in the jungle....BALI - Leisure Commerce Square which is where the school is now. It is supposed to be cooling and have cross ventilation which is kinda opposite of what it turns out to be... compressors everywhere! Well, fine, that isnt the point im going into. I was saying, the number of students increased drastically from the very first sem till now.. Lots have changed, some have yet to change and some might not even ever change!

However, one for sure. I know you guys here, yes, the people who worked hard to unite and get people together, work for the council, work for the school have had put alot of effort and commitment to carry the SABD society alongside of time advancement, I am very grateful to see this. Thank you for working off what we had left off. I shall have posts coming up soon and hopefully on a consistent basis. Till then, cheers!

Lost Ruler

I've lost my steel ruler during one of the Christmas Train working days.

Please look for a 30cm steel ruler with the brand name "NEED".

As its name speaks for itself, I really need it back. It's highly imperative that it be returned to me as soon as possible due to personal reasons that cannot be explained.

To whomever who took it: I will gladly give you money to buy a new and longer ruler if you will return mine.

To whomever who aids in the safe return of my "NEED" ruler: Possible reward meal sponsorship.

This is to show how really desperate I am. just. for. a. ruler. T_T
Please help!

Thank you.

Why Architecture or Quantity Surveying ?

It has been sometime eh...sori...really got entangled with assignments...no excuses anyway...

So, here is maybe something we all could relate ? Why Architecture or Quantity Surveying ?

Even at this stage, i still come to wonder why ? Why did i take architecture for my case...Even when we design, the question WHY keeps appearing...

I never had the interest i though i should have when i came in architecture...i never had the PASSION which my lecturers and seniors' were talking about...i never enjoyed architecture it seems...the only fun moments at that time were mostly concerning sleeping over at friends place and having midnight chats on our past histories...

For a person who had just left high-school and immediately picking out A COURSE which would be the job of his life is surely a difficult moment as i had to think it over constantly whether is it the RIGHT choice...would A-Levels or SAM be a better decision ? Should i then just leave before it is too late ? I went along instead, and a year had then passed...

When it was time to choose again, being the lazy kid, i decided to give it another try in SEM 3, and i would say, it was the most toughest transition (with studio and all)...i almost thought i should have just given up and moved on...i really almost left after SEM 3...but i decided to stay again...maybe it was the results which kept me here for so long...(maybe it was the camp Olympiarch)

Until Sem 4, i still wasn't sure of what to do...i went to work in the holidays in a firm and still had no idea of what to do...it then became even clearer at that time architecture wasn't the choice for me...(but i still like designing though)...i knew that for sure...

When i was in Sem 5, it still felt like a routine...only designing was fun...3d was fun, but heart wrenching when things doesn't go your way...It was only then during the holidays, when my friends and i participated in competitions and camps where things started to get interesting...maybe it was because at that time there was really no pressure to do well, or to get good grades or maybe it was just because you could do whatever you like at that time...i think...

Now, it is already Sem 6 and designing is still fun...i am just scared maybe i might grow to hate it one day...

So, Why Architecture ? "i really still dunno...design i guess..."
