then though luck have to refer back to uitm jpa scholar (bac sc arch)

92k for taylors? wow... better go study at UTAS or something

I advise you to think this through first, by taking jpa scholarship you are bound to serve in goverment office or government related company once youve graduated, from waht i see most of my friend who were JPA scholar ended up teaching in technical college or polytechnics, option to work under an architectural firm is long gone, and from what ive heard future JPA scholars will be put into gov service as mandatory, right there are few who lucky enough not to get called into service.

im just giving you a headstart for what will happen later once youve graduated, well the scholarship is tempting 5000 per semester who didnt want that?

buy an asus i5 proc with 2gb ati GPU, works fine to me, im always render my works and do some ps ing, it works well, even payed diablo 3 with it, price just under 2100

just be confident in what you do/draw/sketch.

in time your skill will develop i can promise you this

do something different, ive seen a lot of juniors coming in with crappy drawings they do during their schooldays..

if all else fail try polytechnics route

so does in IT, why you need all the qualifications and all the cert there is,
the higher you climb up on the field.

P1>P2>P3

the bigger the responsible is. and each of the job have their own scope of work for example

Draughtsman - draw up plans, CAD, they might have no knowledge on how to design a proper building with necessary services and requirements. but then you'll Technical Assistant who knows more about technical stuff, requirement for Building Submission to the local authority. UBBL (universal Building by Law) all that stuff.

Part 1 (Assistant Architect) - most of them help Part 2 architects in their task, helping to do a 3d massing of a building for example, prepare presentation boards to the client. CAD up floor plans, do an architectural visualization.

Part 2 Architect - this is the main power house of every architectural firms. they responsible in solving problem given from client. responsible in managing a project or more. liase with building material supplier, liase with local authorities. all that stuff

Part 3 architect/ Associate Architect - Their main job is mostly to secure a client or projects. The boss of the firm.

i hope my explanation is enough. might missed one or two point here.

to design a building is not a 1 man show you know, it's easy to design anyone with skill to move cursor and make a plane in sketchup can design, but to make it work and feasible you need all the expertise there is and it doesnt only includes architects you have other professionals, engineers, quantity surveyors, project manager.

so to say that any P1 or P2 can be a certified architect means that you know nothing about the industry

BANKERS

that all-in-one package wont work unless you want to save cost or for other particular reasons, for that we have IBS systems, but still it need architects and other consultants to be involved in.

try quantity surveyor or any civil engineering courses

just keep yourself inform about the industries.
even if you got A in your art doesnt guarantee your success later
applied either way

go for the datum talks. best

dont put so much hope in creating "Malaysia Architecture" our culture are not as widely diverse as our neighbour indonesia.

even if, to put in a comparison. is there any "Singapore Architecture". so we are way pass that question.
i think right now the main issues is how we can erect a great building with an army of unskilled construction workers.
IBS? robot? that the way to think forward man

have you had any skills to work in a firm? if no better not,
polytechnic is not always a bad route to start your dream.
often i see those who go through poly have a better grasp of skills and technical knowledge rather than their matric/stpm counterparts.

those years you spend in poly will serve you well. trust me

and more money spent too.
im glad, my Part II is still a bachelor degree.

i dont know about other uni, but as for UPM

part II subject cover topic on sustainable architecture, architectural practice and research apart from studio

the 4th year we spent our studio subject on 4 projects while on 5th we are focusing the whole year for one architectural design thesis project. which we will pick up our own site.location and our own brief. I think this one is almost the same for all part II regardless of master's degree or bachelor's degree.

there will be no more Bach Degree for Part II in UPM. after this it will be as other public U, master's degree for P2.

i dont think the credit hour will be more than what it is now. probably the marking of courses will be a little stricter.
If your aim is to work in practical firm it wouldnt matter whether its degree or master's.

its now time for 3d printing

It wont be until next year.april or may probably
