My 3 months practical training at TR Hamzah and Yeang made me realize that Malaysian architect is capable to design such hi tech and sustainable building...For sure that Dr. Ken Yeang is an icon in Malaysian architecture field...

Yeah...at my school also (IIUM) there are some architecture firms that looking for fresh graduate...even, during portfolio day, there are several prominent architects comes and observing our works, they offer some of the best students to work with them...For example, some of my senior joined Hijas as Ar. Hijas himself offer them work...(after graduate, don't forget to send ur resume to my office...he said)

In my opinion...still worth...i received BA (Berita Akitek, from PAM, u got it for free if u're a member)...they said that the government need 4700 architects in 2015 where we have to produce 383 architects per year. Currently, we only produce 148 archtects per year. The ratio is 1:8000 (architect:population)...

That's only the figure for architect, while the other technical staffs like draughtman, technical assistant and others which are related to the architectural field also have the ratio 1:5 (architect:technical support staffs).

Azarimy...since u're from UTM...what is ur opinion of fresh graduate of architecture part II start working in Singapore?

UK...I think AA is the best...which school r u going?

Sorry...interrupting in the middle...My senior went there last July. She's in Manchester now...She worked here for three years at T.R Hamzah & Yeang and she is one of the best staff and Dr. Ken Yeang really like her...

Dr. Ken like her as one of the best staff he ever had...this girl won a few international competition and very hardworking. That's why this lady actually (already married) was put in the contract admin in TR Hamzah & Yeang. Actually I was in TR Hamzah also for my practical training...hehe

I'm from UIAM...Now in final year, my part II. Bachelor of Architecture. I got about a month to finish up my thesis..."International Watersports Complex at Pulau Duyong, Kuala Terengganu"..not really admire him, but kinda like his bioclimatic and sustainable approach...

Hmmm...I think that is depend on the person itself...stress and pressure control are very important to whoever and whatever field...I feel stress and pressure when it comes to submission but I can handle it wisely...a lot of things can be done...

Anyway guys, I find this article...maybe it was an old news...

Hmmm...justin, last time when i worked with Dr. Ken Yeang, one of the staff was working with Foster, he said that, although the salary is high but the cost living in London is really make u sick...

Better u go somewhere in Manchester (haha...MU fan), my senior is there now, and her salary is almost 3k pound sterling...anyway, she'll be there only for a year, this coming June she'll be working at Melbourne, Australia. I asked her why, she said that Aussie is much more better than UK currently...maybe that just her opinion...but it depends...if u really going there (UK)...let us know in here...

Dept. of Architecture, KAED IIUM once again trying to get accredetation this coming 28 & 29th May 08. My batch is preparing every single thing as we're the most senior (5th Year) and we're aiming for LAM Part II while our junior for LAM Part I. Our LAM Part I just expired for current 2nd year batch...Hope that we can get the blanket accredetation for our school...for me, i have to finish my work asap as Atelier ADT already called me to report duty on 19th May as Design Architect...Alhamdulillah

We (KAED UIAM) especially the dept of architecture just finish our accredetation for part 2 and renewing our part 1 early of this month. Now, just wait for another 3 months for the result.

Azarimy, Dr. Syed Iskandar gave a hint to my lecturers before he left last time, "See you in 5 years" which mean a good sign for us. Anyway, we just pray that we'll success this time. Our dept had worked so hard especially my batch (5th year, final year part 2) for this accredetation.

I just started working, currently big-big firm especially like GDP, RSP, BEP, VERITAS ans etc are increasing the starting salary to the fresh gradute due to current petrol price. So, for the fresh graduate who want to start with these big firms, u can demand and they can pay...(experience through my ex-studiomate)

My close friend was doing stadium at Putrajaya for his thesis and he got good result with it...hmm...he was focusing more on community purposes rather than just FAM or football...
