Hey, I got some questions. Is architecture course involves a lot of complicated calculations or just pure art design? Generally how is the study nature of architecture course?

interior design~~

well, to summarize in the simplest form, architecture is the marriage between science, arts and social behaviour. there isnt an exact answer to how much is one to the other, coz every individual studying architecture will give u different answer. that's the nature of architecture education.

from my point of view, architecture is 4 parts science, 3 parts arts and 3 parts social behaviour.

the science part includes: building and construction technology, services (piping, lift, circulation, toilets etc), structures (with some basic calculations), and advanced constructions.

arts part includes: visual arts, composition, scale&proportions, aesthetics and stuff like that. it is very common that architecture students to be well trained in sketching and drawing, some even venture into fine arts or visual arts, to the extreme limits of arts.

social behaviour includes: human behaviour, spatial relationships, spatial qualities, comfort etc.
all these are governed by the architect's skills and specialization. the core of architecture: the design, virtually combines multiple skills like drawing, sketching, organizing, cross-referencing, drafting, verbal communications, tabulations etc; most often simultaneously. this made architects as excellent multi-tasker, and female are even better when juggling between being a wife, a mother and an architect.
i'm an architect/lecturer in UTM, and actually the first in my family to ever venture outside the realm of teaching .

LIMKOKWING

i got a coupla mates in limkokwing and uia. zatur, the head department of architecture in LUCT, is a dear friend of mind. used to lepak2 together back in the good old days. wan mad, also a lecturer in architecture, is my classmate, and part of my study group.

some of my seniors went to uia and became lecturers. syala, yun, ruzaimi, ramzi... all are two years my senior . send my regards to all of them.

architecture student reporting in! 

looks pretty good! the model looks pretty detailed. u should add more human figures to give it a more... human touch.

and i believe it should be sports centre, not sport centre. u might wanna adjust that, for future reference

UCSI aka University College Sedaya International 

2nd years student here! 

they just have this programme only after the school changed to university status...
so, i am the 2nd batch in architecture programme. 

located in taman connaught, cheras 

yah, azarimy told me that UTM is having a workshop...
i think UCSI is not ready for that....

1st and 2nd year student very minor student due to newly launch architecture course.
but there is quite some number for foundation as well as diploma student in architecture programme. 

i think UTM've sent a letter to UCSI's head department. u can check with him. if not, i'll call them to send the letter to u as soon as possible. or better yet, u can just go to the website, and contact the organizers directly and get urself invited.

there's no need for "preparations" for an architectural workshop. if ur school is new, everybody'll understand. everyone's sporting enough and we welcome all. it's the whole spirit of architecture running around, u see.

i believe UIA sent their first bunch of students back in 2000 to UTM. i was the head of programme during the workshop in 2000. my god they were havok! cool bunch of people, though earlier we were expecting a bunch of ustaz and ustazah's who'll curse at our exhibitionist dressings and extremely small personal spaces (if u get what i mean)
