Sorry but i don't know them


Degree around 120 while masters is half of that

i guess theres a lot of malaysian there

In Tasmania alone if I'm not mistaken there's 500+ Malaysians.

Hi, I am applying online @ the KPT website,

I couldnt find UTM in the "Pilihan Program Pengajian Mengikut Keutamaan" section,
How come?

what are u looking for exactly? diploma? degree?

revise? ummm... perhaps.

it's not that i dont recommend, but i just cant recommend any single book lol. but anyhow, i'd start with 'experiencing architecture', then perhaps go for 'defensible space' and 'language of space'.

I'd say don't bother about SPM Maths & Physics.
The field of architecture is so wide. It's not so much about swotting for exams than about learning by doing.
Reading all the books there is does not make you a good architect/designer.
Your time would be better spent learning Autocad and Google Sketchup. The sooner you master these programmes, the better.

For reading, this would be a good starting point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture
You can go into the sub-topics from there.
Books by Frank Ching like 'Architecture : Form, Space & Order' are also good for introduction. Not so wordy with lots of nice hand-drawn illustrations.
I wasn't so lucky when I started to have access to so much informaton on the internet.

i think what you are saying is in what form do i need to prepare my self for architecture, for me (its my personal view) its better for you to familiarise yourself with 'design'. I can see a lot of successful students or architect in the broadest sense, they have other inclinations that would help them in architecture, ie i once saw this student who loves to do graphic design whether in photoshop or manual by hand before getting into the course. i guess he learnt it druing high school or something... although you will see what he is doing doesnt relate much to the field but it do really help you to familiarize your self with the same situation which is to design, other than that practice your common sense see all over the place why this building they built it like this so and so...

i hope this would help

yeap, this helped. so what you're saying is like what tehtmc said, familiarize myself with design, design applications (autocad, photoshop etc.) thanks!

not necessary design applications, are going to any interview for the intake into architecture, if yes, then prepare some portfolio or things you do 'creatively' (paintings,drawing-not those anime or etc, 3d modelling, web design or anything that will show your interest in designing.)

go to youtube and watch for "how to do a good design portfolio"

theyll show lots of video showing portfolio from student from any fields that do design. youll learn alot from that..

i wish you good luck

Dear Aza,

May I know is it possible for LAM/PAM part I convert into RIBA Part II in Malaysia or Singapore??
Let's say if Im graduated from IPTS, Malaysia

Diploma

well, i believe that there are numerous ways to learn architecture. even the design process alone is a vast yet unique process, where sometimes it's very hard to find a designer that designs the same way u do. tehtmc's method is known as the hands-on approach or learning-by-doing, similar to learning to ride a bicycle. in this approach, u wont learn much by reading about how to ride a bicycle until u have ridden one.

but there are things u cant do only by doing. theories are equally important as skills. theories allow a more structured learning-by-doing. for example, theories collect methods of working that have been tested. so u would know the method u're using has a chance for success or not BEFORE u start. as u might already know, learning-by-doing have a lot of 'trial by error'.

convert? no. not anywhere.

can u provide me with a link or screen capture?

Just wanna ask..can I get license after finishing study Architecture at UCSI??
Thanks!

Hello.. I have just finished my degree in urban and regional planning in UTM and i am interested in doing architecture.
I am also currently working. Is it possible to use my current degree now to get any exemptions and if its possible, is there any part time classes available? Please advise..

Thank You.

what i meant is design softwares, for me sketchup is the best way to learn, but autocad is a little bit too advance if you didnt have any basic knowledge

ok thanks. let me run a check. will get back to u later.

yes, it is possible to get some exemptions. there are part time courses (via SPACE), but they are not accredited. something u DONT wanna do in architecture is take the unaccredited route when a fully accredited route is available to u.

autocad is not too advanced. simply put, without basic knowledge, there's nothing u can do for autocad. if u wanna know a dangerous software for newbie designer, it's REVIT.

Did I say anything about doing without knowing?
You don't have to know anything to ride a bicycle, you only need to know how to balance. How can you compare designing buildings with riding a bicycle!
