Taylor's Campus Day 2009

Taylor’s Open Day was held on the 11th-13th of December while Campus Day was held a week after, on the 18th-20th of December 2009 from 10am-5pm.

Now after fourty years of operation, this new campus, fondly called “Lakeside Campus” is scheduled to be opened in January 2010 with its first intake of students.

 

It is an expansion to meet the needs of both local and international students, which houses all existing tertiary programmes currently located at Taylor's various campuses in Subang Jaya and Petaling Jaya. With this, the ultra-modern Lakeside Campus comes with a three-storey multi-purpose hall and auditorium, a four-storey library, three 10-storey academic blocks and a hostel. Not forgetting, a 5.5 acre man-made lake, as well as a landscape of water plants, trees and flowering shrubs and groundcover which will provide a rich and stimulating natural environment in the neighbourhood.

A warm sense of arrival will be your first impression as the tree-lined University Drive leads you towards the main entrance and catch your first glimpse of the lake.

Inter-connecting streets lead to shops, cafes, banks, convenience stores and an array of service amenities. Next is the hostel, neighbouring F&B outlets that face out to the lake and a boardwalk which leads to the outdoor amphitheatre and University Square. Sheltered, high-ceiling, landscaped promenades will provide easy access to facilities, thus creates opportunities for various social and leisure activities.

More than just a home to new student population, it will be the nurturing ground for an energetic and dynamic new community.

TCPJ will be moving later (Phase 2) in March-April. Hence, SOCIT, SABD, TDS and SOC will stay put in January. This is to ensure that we don't suddenly flood the lakeside with more than we can handle and get everyone upset.

Although this may come as a downer but just wait 4 more months and we'll all be under one roof!

SUITS ♠♣♥♦ 2009

SUITS is a belief that chances and risks simply amount to endless possibilities and opportunities, a night of dreams and ideas, aspirations and risks. This commemorates three years of highs and lows, aces and misses, an ascendance towards maturity and childhood. The photobooth backdrop installation of cards reflects the theme, with suits of cards folding and transforming in motion, providing a perfect backdrop for guests to pose for the cameras upon arrival.

Mr. Tony Liew, programme director of SABD, welcomed the guests with a short speech, followed by stunning performances from Eugene the Magician and Maria Loves Ozawa. The highlight for the night, apart from the scrumptious spread of buffet, would be the nostalgia video montage of SABD in the past year. The guests were brought down memory lane as shots of treasured moments and memorable events were played along with nostalgic background music. This was followed soon after with an acoustic performance by Liyana, from the former band Estrella. Liyana and her musicians rocked the ballroom, bringing the crowd onto their feet with their soul-touching jazz music.

After Liyana’s performance, lecturers were invited on stage to announce the lucky draw winners. Prizes include graphics books sponsored by Basheer Graphic Books Sdn. Bhd. Also, a grand prize of RM400 gift voucher for a holiday trip was sponsored by Holiday Tours & Travel Sdn. Bhd. The night ended with a themed beatbox performance by Dudebox and a performance by the band Roses For My Ruins. The finale struck an uproar on the dancefloor, closing the event with much success.

SUITS left an imprint upon all who attended. Needless to say, it was the epitome and perfect ending of year 2009 for SABD. The endless possibilities and opportunities, dreams and ideas, aspirations and risks, have simply amounted to its climatic ending. SUITS represent in whole, the journey through SABD, concluding the year with a night of grandeur and splendour. A round of applause to all graduates of 2009!

Taylor's Booth Exhibition

Taylor's Booth Competition/ Exhibition

@ One Utama, 8th of November!

The Green Future Starts with Green Thinking

Most applications of green technology in our architecture today is trivial if not an ad-hoc design to an existing architectural agenda. This phenomenon can be traced back to the lack of knowledge, or even the lack of conviction to design green. We believe that the use of this faux facade of green technology to stand in for moral integrity in design is the result of very syncopated thought processes that course through our architectural paradigm.

With that in mind, we cast this booth with its allegory as a reminer of what our focus should be in the application of green tech, a reminder that we have to look into ourselves and find our true calling to being green. We hope that this tome will encapsulate the importance of the mind (brain) as the precursor to designing and building with green technology.

The booth is presented as a white cube, stark against the background, with silvers of light spilling out from within its womb, like a glowing alien object. As one approaches the booth, he/ she now realizes that it is made of semi permeable material, a facade of elastic that allows the hand and the head to slip through the ephemeral skin of white and peek into the exhibited models within it. The insides are designed like neurons and each of the neurons hold a student's model delicately within its supple encasement. As one interacts with the membranous exterior, he/ she chances upon an opening, a slit where indications that something had pried it open. Intrigued, the viewer steps into the heart of the brain and experiences the sensation of being enveloped by light and delicate floating objects, almost as if an invocation has caused the viewer to be transported into an alternate, almost surreal awareness.
