can anyone tell me any shop around KL area that sells architect stuff e.g. fan scale ruler? tq.

if i get 2.00 above for metric/stpm does it mean i terus can go in UTM or they will chose which U i will go to?

and if i take the whole course in UTM or any local Uni, then can i work oversea? local U is not recognize by RIBA and oversea rite?

taylor's got full time in malaysia wan? or MUST go oversea for the last 2 year?

I can only imagine part III is on architectural practices and management.

i juz check my result...
i got CGPA 2.33, WORST ENOUGH!!
is there still possible for me to get in UTM architecture..??

hey, can i take architecture if i never took arts in secondary? i took science stream in secondary, i never attend or have any knowledge about arts. can i actually cope with the class?

to azarimy:

hi there... first of all, i really really wanna give u a big THANK YOU (n to evryone else who has countributed everything and anything regarding architecture...) u have no idea how RELIEVED and GRATEFUL i am to have actually come(or rather, stumbled) upon this forum(i nvr knew this existed...)...i had so many question in my mind, and have no seniors to go to (most of them taking other stuff..)..so this is like my "bible" to architecture now...

anyway, i have a confession to make..
my stpm results isn't really good, my cgpa is 2.67 only...sob sob...
will i have any chance at all in gaining an interview? (i wouldn't mind being grill by the lecturers...)

i took art during my spm...does this help at all? but unfortunately, i dun have any portfolio at all...is it ok if i start drawing now? i mean, watercolors....does the drawing have to all focus on buildings, or i can just focus on drawing wat i want?

my childhood ambition was actually to be a doctor...but i guesss it was more on saying it than actually mentally preparing myself to be a doctor...in saying so, i was actually more interested in art's and design than in science, where i would actually have thoughts like, y should this building be built up this way when it can be design in another way...and stuff like tat...

and i hav to admit after reading all that u've wrote, i'm actually even more determine now than ever to study architecture....however, i'm still really new 2 this subject, and am goin to the national library tmrw to see if i can borrow a few about architecture to brush up my knowledge about it...anyway, can u (azarimy), pls pls giv me some pointers on how to excel in the interview? (i'm mentally preparing myself that i will get tat interview...fingers crossed.. ;p) i noe i need to have my portfolio, hone my public speaking skills(to be able to comunicate  flawlessly, get to noe foriegn and local architects and their work....is there anything else that i'm missing?

then how to be considered qualify to be legally practise in malaysia?

HOW DID HE DO THAT? 

can i go for archi degree?im from comp science dip from ipta..if can, where uni can accept and how long duration to complete?

hmm i'm wondering which is the best path to take architecture ?get into uni & do diploma or foundation or take matrics then go to uni?

oh, i remember.arch science such a interior design or sumthin.

actually im from UITM, but there is no chance for other course other than u mention above eligible to furhter in archi degree..im just want to know whether any ipta or ipts taking diploma student from other science course...                   u archi student, rite?

im sorry for asking, is there any impressive skyscraper done by Malaysian, here in Malaysia since i know KLCC architect is Argentinian..(im lazy to google,lol)

hold on there. if u really think about it, there hardly anything u've learned in SPM that is really relevant to architecture.

people say u need maths, addmaths, physics and so on. but that's pure crap. i've been teaching architecture for almost 7 years now. most of the things u need is PMR level, and perhaps 1 chapter in maths (geometry) and 1 chapter in physics (load). other than that, everything will be taught from scratch.

so if u say u wanna avoid matrics bcoz u wont learn anything towards architecture, hey, u've wasted 2 years learning for SPM already. what's another year eh?

one thing u should know about the diploma->degree in UTM. the intake to UTM diploma is about 45 students currently. intake from UTM diploma to UTM degree is about 10-15 students only. so if u're not in the top 1/3 of ur batch during ur diploma, u'd be hard pressed for a place for ur degree.

matrics, like foundations, are not considered equivalent to A-levels. STPM on the other hand, is.

not going well. might even be ur colleague! ha ha. UITM for da workshop?

oooo, ty

can u find out wat the software name? cause it help a lot.
with a macbuk, u can acces ur windows on a netbuk.
thats cool!

don nid to be on a dekstop
haha

Even A-levels, an internationally recognized and supposedly very versatile pre-U qualification is not recognized by the IPTA's. What do you expect of foundation courses from the IPTS's?

Strange thing is,  A-levels is recognized for applications from foreign students to the IPTA's. No, it's nothing to do with the standard of the qualification but it's matter of gomen policy.
