The Unending Square is featured and being exhibited in the Master Thesis Exhibition 2019 organized by Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia.
It was the third time after being graduated that the project is being presented in a formal setting. The feeling of presenting a one-year-old project as though it was created in what felt like yesterday made me realized how much my perception towards the project has changed.
I was grateful that all the parts and pieces of the project along with the thoughts are recorded and stored online that enable me to reassess the project from time to time. I wonder what would I think about this project in my 40s? 60s? 80s? (if I live that long?)
It was great knowing that PAM (Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia) is starting to select and compile graduate and thesis work. I hope they would continue the effort in archiving the Malaysian works from student graduate work, post-graduate, and architect in Malaysia while at the same time keeping them openly and publicly accessible for all to gain value from. The state of PAM might be far from perfect as compared to other more developed nation, but like every other entity, everything needs to be built little by little from all the help it could gain from the community that it serves.
The continued loss of local talent overflowing to the overseas country is staggering, to say the least. After participating in the event, it is illuminating for me to know that the committee and community are continuing their effort in finding ways to further improve the local industry and educational system. I am looking forward to seeing what’s yet to come for the Malaysian architecture industry.
