but revit is exclusively PC based, which archicad is on both systems. that's the biggest difference.

Sorry for my poor understanding, what do u mean by that? cause i am not familiar with both software~
but i will looking forward to master it soon as u said that revit has become more n more widely use in Malaysia~
thanks~

well, there are numerous platforms out there. some of the more popular ones include windows, mac, linux and so on. for architecture, there are two dominant ones, windows and mac. REVIT is exclusively for windows (PC), while archicad is available for both systems. if u're a PC based person, u have two choices, but if u're a mac person, then u can only rely on archicad.

Hello..I am currently taking A-level and interested in Landscape Architecture.After A-level where can I go to study this??

i have a question, i pass my SPM last two years(means 2010) and now i'm choosing whether going to study diploma in architecture or QS at TARC,i wanna know whether if i finish my diploma in architecture and i want to continue it to BSc architecture which year will i start?the last year or the 2nd year? and is BSC architecture is the LAM part 1 ?
And and,which course offer the affordable fresh grad salary
hope i can get the answer here..

sorry, i do not have information on this.

i. it's safe to say that a diploma will lead to 2nd year of a BSc Arch, nothing more.
ii. BSc Architecture is equivalent to LAM Part 1. but u must check if it's accredited or not. if u're talking about IPTS, i can easily tell u that they are not.

Just wanna inform y'all

CIDB Malaysia is organizing the 11th INTERNATIONAL CONSTRUCTION WEEK 2012 [ICW 2012] which will be held on 14 – 16th February 2012 with the theme Transformation at KLCC

ookay,that means taking foundation is better than diploma in architecture?
in future if i wanna open a firm or can say i wanna be a boss,then i have to go for LAM part 3? is that take long term?
may i know the fresh grad salary for diploma and degree in architecture and QS?
only government uni's BSc architecture offer LAM part 1/2??

i. well, degree is always better than diploma. foundation is just a way to get urself to do the degree much fasger.

ii. part 3 is not necessary to open ur own firm. but if u want to be in full charge of the practice, YES. it doesnt really take long. some people have done it within 3-4 years after graduating. others took 20 years.

iii. diploma is about RM1400-RM1800 depending on the size and location of the firm. degree part 1 is about RM1600-RM2000. part 2 is around RM2400.

not sure about QS.

i. UTAR BSc architecture ok?or any other uni bsc architecture is accredited LAM part 1?cause look at the first of your post only government's uni degree are accredited LAM part 1.

ii. LAM part 2 doesn't really like degree?i mean have to go to uni everyday go for class and blabla. It is really only just go for work after that get some experience from work and then go apply for exam and done some good stuff in your job within 2 years ?

iii. if i work for others firm ,can i get a project by myself and then get some profit from it?

i. at the moment, only IPTAs host accredited degree. however, refer below:

ii. u mean LAM part 3? yeah.

LAM part 2, on the other hand, is still a degree (bachelor's or masters).

iii. well, u can, but u have to do it outside office hours. some firms even outlaw the practice due to conflict of interest etc.




breaking news:

An IPTS in Klang Valley have become the first IPTS to be accredited with LAM Part 1. The accreditation is conditional due to some discrepancies and they have 2 years to remedy it. But it's the first time that a private school EVER to be accredited. I'm sure students will now flock to the IPTS.

Official announcements will be made soon.

i. If i go for other uni that not accredited degree , can i still able to open a own firm? or can i work at overseas like singapore?

ii. then LAM part 2 how is it?

i. to open ur own firm, u need MONEY. not part 3 . to practice, now that's a different matter. to work overseas, u must first ensure that ur degree is recognized in that country. if it is, then u should opt to take their parts 1, 2 and/or 3 (or equivalent). if they specifically tell u that u dont have to, then yeay, be happy.

ii. u need a degree or masters that carries a LAM part 2. refer to 1st page.

Yes, you can if you can get a Part 3 holder to back you up.
Part 3 is not everything.
When you open your own firm, it's like starting any business.
The crucial thing is getting the business - getting enough jobs and good paying clients to make it profitable.
To establish the contacts and network, you have to work for a period of time with architectural firms.




Taylors? They'll sure take the opportunity to up their fees I'm sure.

thanks anyway,i think i get i what i want adi.
by the way are u an architect with part 3 and working with own firm? and how you feel it?

tehtmc is the best person here to answer that question.

i'm neither a part 3 or full-time practicing. i'm a full-time academician, part-time architect .

Hi. It's been more than a year since I last post in this thread. Hello there uncle Azarimy.

I just got my conditional offer to do Architecture at the University of Sheffield for 2012 admission and I think I remember reading somewhere last year that you are from Sheffield too.

My aimed university was Bath but I was rejected. So uncle, any tips and expectations on Architecture course at Sheffield?
