There have been some confusion of the Thesis 1st stage report. This thread seeks to rectify that problem.

First, we need to address the issue of Thesis Report vs Journal Paper. Until now, the department have not given the greenlight for us to proceed with the Journal Paper method. We’ve been trying to have a meeting to sit down and discuss on this, but we will only be able to do so next week (Wednesday 20 Oct 2010). Hence, we would have to postpone the implementation of the Journal Paper submissions until the outcome of that meeting.

Which means, everybody would have to submit the 1st draft of the report on Monday by 12pm at my room (B11-309),

So that’s that. Now, about what to put in the report. Guess what? Read it in the forum!

The rapid economic growth in Malaysia since its independence more than 50 years ago have driven the change of the skyline of her main cities. Land is the most sought after commodity in the city scape; its high value forces developers to maximize the efficiency of the building in order to gain maximum profit.
However, there is a need to address the growth of highrises particularly in relation to the environment. As the world’s resources becoming more and more scarce and demands continue to rise, there is a need for buildings, be it big or small, to be green and sustainable. The dialogue is hoped to intrigue the intellectual minds in building for a better future in Malaysia.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS SEMINAR

This seminar is targeted for those involved in the contemporary highrise industry in Malaysia: from practicing architects and engineers to law-makers, future industry leaders as well as the end users themselves.

INTRODUCTION

‘DESIGN Thesis’ is a final major design exercise in the formal education of a student architect to test his/her accumulated knowledge and skills in handling architectural problems. It provides a unique opportunity for students to pursue their own interests in architecture and the built environment through the medium of a building or a complex of buildings of their own choice from preparation or investigation of brief to design proposal, and accompanied by a full documentation of investigations, findings, alternative decisions and conclusions. A thesis should also be able to provide excitement and exploratory opportunities for the student; allowing for challenging solutions, element of surprise and the crossing of threshold in architectural ideas.

DESIGN THESIS PROPOSAL

Students are required to submit their proposal in the form of Statement of Intent. This will be then be subject to approval by the Coordinators and the respective panels before embarking on the studies.
