THE Malaysian Institute of Architects (PAM), which started off as a group of architects organising ad hoc meetings in hotel lobbies, has now moved on to open its own brick-and-mortar headquarters, the PAM Centre in Jalan Tandok, Bangsar.

Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah graced the opening of the eight-storey centre where PAM president Ezumi Harzani elaborated on the association’s journey from humble beginnings to its own certified green building with a platinum rating.
