Tropical Architecture

The architectural style and method in Malaysia should at least consist this below listed items:-
1. racial context
2. cultural context
3. tropical climate issues
4. historical issues
Of course, besides the basic conderation as functionality, form and other feasibility studies, the above mentioned should be what that extinguishes and defines Malaysia architecture.

Carving

Design comes with stages.

Preliminary idea formation- even includes storming and norming.

wbs:-
form study.
functionality.
Space study.
Scale study.
Ventilation.
Lighting- Natural daylight and lighting studies.
Circulation- human, vehicles.
Parking.
Contour study.
Softscape.
Hardscape.
Finishes.
Material.
Construction Method.
Financial Study.
By laws and regulations.
History context.
Cultural context.
Presentation planning.
Project schedule planning.

Detailed design- which further study all the above mentioned into larger form scale study.

It's like a process of sculpture carving.


Architects can not only design but planning.
Architects can not only planning but manage.
Architects can not only manage but consulting.
Consulting involves in all format.
Legally, aesthetically, functionality, scienctifically, cultural affairs and historical studies.

It really takes time and effort to form professionality.

New Branding

The design company had stated to bring out a new branding. It is very consolidating, the company has the power to grow in a dramatic pace. I had been involve in multi million project designs, which were high rise residential with podium departmental store, 2000sqft attached computer center, high rise commercial buildings, market, cinema and so on. My part is mainly in conceptual design, ideas, presentation and cad documentation. Architecture involves so much...it is a challenging career path.
