gah.....if its once of the best?...y is it not accredited?....btw, will taking part1 , 2 n 3 exams be hard / very long prosedure/ menyusahkan ?





if u're given a chance to choose matrix n diploma...which will u chose?


so....how important is RIBA????.... now it seems less important than i though it used to be . izzit RIBA is important for those who wanted to work in malaysia only? or RIBA is the world class recognisation?


mind telling more detials bout it?



??????....2 or 3 student per year??.....in 1 class there's only 2-3 students...
i definately get the wrong idea,,,,,correct me.

thanks in advance

it is accredited by RIBA. when u finish ur degree in NUS, u can come and work in msia. u just need to get ur license from LAM, which is where the interview will be.



diploma definitely. no questions about it!



well, not really important in msia. if u plan to work in msia, u need PAM. RIBA is useful bcoz it's an internationally recognized standard for architects. so if u have RIBA, u can work virtually anywhere in the world, especially commonwealth countries. for most schools in msia, they would do better with RIBA. but currently PAM is more than enough, and even recognized in most commonwealth countries already.


i said give or take 2 or 3 students from the 1:15 intake ratio. meaning sometimes it can be as low as 1:12, sometimes as high as 1:18. we're not talking about lecturer:student ratio here.

dun bet ur life on it... i would say its a very long shot to try switching courses. dun take chances man.

u can always study engineering and then pursue architecture later. it'll make u a better architect. the world famous Santiago Calatrava is an engineer by profession but he bcame an architect.

the famous Geoffrey Bawa is a trained lawyer, but turned architect during mid life.

after complete my civil & structural engineering draughtsman ,can i enter architecture course??

if luct's degree is awarded by curtin which is an accredited institute, doesnt that mean it has been granted part 1?so students will automatically have part 1 after graduationg from luct with a curtin degree?

jamesngui ,
well it depends ,students last year didnt get the part 1 . i dont knwo why , my lecturer told us .

yes, ofcourse. what level would ur certificate be? diploma?

u can arrange for a credit transfer to exempt urself from several subjects that usually are similar in architecture.

LUCT's 1st degree is not awarded by curtin, but uses curtin's syllabus. LUCT now is awarding their own degree, which is equivalent to Part 1. it is not a twinning programme anymore, bcoz LAN and LAM wont recognize twinning programmes. currently they're still finishing up on the accreditation by LAM to get the full exemption for Part 1. at the moment they're being awarded part 1 on assessment/examination basis.

but if the students opt to continue straight for their 2nd degree in curtin, australia, then they will get accreditation for part 2.

but no point getting part 2 accreditation right?because without part 1, your part 2 will be useless in msia also right? hmm, im pretty sure the certificate is curtin's for the architecture science degree. if i heard right i think the course advisor did mention its from curtin.

u can sit for the part 2 degree, and when u come back, u will sit for the part 1 examinations. with part 2 in ur hand, part 1 exam is kacang goreng laa.

anyways, i'll ask zatur (LUCT's head of architecture) about this later. i'm pretty sure they cant by-pass LAN's refusal to accredit twinning programmes...

Added on March 22, 2007, 1:44 ami've just consulted a colleague, a fellow lecturer of QS from UTM.

she iterated that ukur bahan (QS), as i've mentioned before, is the accountants and economists of the built environment. they can do estimation of the project, costing and economic management, assisting the architects who will be very busy figuring out the designs of the building.

ukur bangunan (commonly refered to as bangunan) are project managers who works mostly on site. they are the people who makes sure the building is built according to plans, as well as manage the flow as the projects as well.

so u mean once i have the part 2 already, i wouldnt have to sit for it anymore? i will just have to sit for part 1 once ive completed?

Why are most buildings in Malaysia so boring and "grey"?

doEs studyinG iN LUCT a gooD choiCE??and does it easY to gEt anY loan/PTPTN loaN??? I m wonderring whEre to Study ArchitecTure thE beSt....i meaN for PriVate College/U....

it really depends on you. if u like da studying environment, by all means go n study there.

im not being biased here but you should give Aliff Creative Academy some consideration too. I have mixed around wif lots of private college archi students and i find that Aliff students are the best of them all.

Added on March 22, 2007, 2:41 pmlots of factors... from the lack of budget to direct instructions from client themselves.

and also gray was the 'in' colour bcos of the usual aluminium/alucobond cladding that you always c that gives a building a high tech feeling.

xtracooljustin,
yes

any relation wif timothy ngui? also from UTM?

yes. that is IF they deem ur part 2 is satisfactory. meaning, if u're grades arent good enough, they might require u to sit for both part 1 and 2 exams.

there are lots of factors to this. as justin said, it might be bcoz of the material itself. in architecture, there's a concept of "material honesty", where architects use the real colour of the material and NOT using paint. if concrete is grey, u dont paint it any other colour, same as timber, plaster, bricks and everything else.

it could also be contributed by grey being the most neutral/universal colour. u can put grey against any colour in the background or foreground. grey goes with EVERYTHING.

would u rather buildings in KL are red? probably all blue? hehe... the ultimate GREY city is aberdeen. go look up on the internet. the building regulation REQUIRES all building to be grey, including ur own private house!

u're at certificate level, meaning ur not doing a diploma?

that would mean u'd have to start from 1st year. i dont think u can transfer any credits, but atleast u could skip foundation/STPM/a-levels.

sensui, if u like red, u can consider Malacca historical zone as ur new home.

xtracooljustin, nope..

I didn't mean grey as in colour. I mean grey as in boring. Or is it spelled gray? Sorry about that.
