there have been a number of UTM alumni working in foster's, and most of them quit after a few years due to unfavourable environment. i wont badmouth another practice since i myself have never worked there, but i could forward some contacts with those who've worked there if u want. and do join facebook (if u havent), coz there's a group called "malaysian architects in the UK", which is a good contact basis if u wanna do ur practical training here.

yep its hard to make a curve roof structure, that is for sure...i did my final year project which the roof of the building creates the chimney effect and make the roof remarkable looking from far...u cant use stainless steel, its not practical becoz its expensive and again expensive...being an architect u shud think of the least cost of ur material to be put in the building..i would like to show u how i make my roof outstanding...below some picture attached..

p/s: the harder it is to build, the outstanding it is to shine...stick on ur goal..being an architecture student u hv to train urself to stay firm on ur decision making..like ur concept, find strong reson to support ur idea...

use aluminium cladding for ur roof...as its used by frank gehry.its bendable, free form and durable. Or suspended roof with upvc fabric material..may i know what is ur building? haha...maybe my lecturer always want us to be realistic...so we always think about the cost also...
