Event Poster
Invited by Ian Aik-Soon Ng, Associate Professor at the University of Technology Sarawak (UCTS), I am invited to give an open, intimate, and honest sharing on “Why I want to be an Architect” to the Architecture Students of the School of Built Environment, UCTS.
While sharing my own personal journey and life lessons, my focus is more on the question of “Why do YOU want to be an Architect?” instead. (to the students)
Content is revolved around my honest declaration of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, from the clear ups and downs, lessons, and business aspects of running my own design studio, to the pleasurable and the current seemingly depressing nature of the current Malaysia’s building industry.
Event Details:
Date: 30 March 2022
Time: 1:30pm (GMT+8) over a private Zoom session
As expected, I end up learning a bit more about myself by end of the sharing with the students.
How about you? Why do you want to be an Architect? Why are you reading this?

What type of animals could you find within the drawings? How many of them?
What does it mean to our civilization if we were to have a controlled wild-scape beneath an entirely elevated city-scape?
