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.

THE LOFT BOUTIQUE BUILDING: The desired residential tower strives to become a new prototype for one of the key residential areas in Lima, Peru. In other words, this project should be think for a single person (single, divorced, widow or a newly wedding couple) who wish to live in the coolest zone of San Isidro. This is why ARQUIA, (www.miloftboutique.com) wishes not just to adapt national parameters and regulations, but also to subscribe to sterling international quality, renewable energy and green design criteria in an effort to set a precedent in local standards, whilst helping to revitalize the inner market and setting a precedent in residential buildings.

The International Living Building Institute, in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, invites the world’s most talented and daring designers, planners, artists and animators to create a new global vision: a breathtaking, compelling model for the future of civilization. Unleash the power of your imagination to envision a city capable of thriving through the centuries.

Only when we have clearly envisioned the future we must create, will we have the courage to light “the Possible’s slow fuse”.

Our Living City Design Competition is grounded in our belief that we already have the technical tools and collective wisdom we need to achieve true sustainability. But before we can bring our cities into balance with the ecosystems they inhabit, we must understand what that balance would look like.

This is where you come in.

AIA Utah announces the 2010 design/build competition–Ballet West: Fluid Adagio Installation (BWFAI), a first-time-ever joint competition initiated by AIA Utah’s Young Architects Forum. We are calling on all young designers to step up to the challenge!

Local, national and international architects and designers are invited to participate in this blind competition to create a temporary installation (estimated to be 1 to 2 years) that will occupy the future building site for Utah’s premiere ballet company, Ballet West. The project’s site is adjacent to the historic Capitol Theater in downtown Salt Lake City and is currently vacant, thus providing a unique contextual setting in Salt Lake City’s ever-changing urban fabric.
