Need to localise architecture education


Local flavour: Malaysian perspectives of practice, design and theory are significant in building a body of architectural content related to the country’s context. – IZZRAFIQ ALIAS/The Star

THE recent natural disasters such as floods, the urgent need for energy conservation, and the deterioration of heritage and culture, among others, have raised questions on the role of education in tackling real-world problems.In the context of local and sustainable urban design, how different should our built environment look like? Is our architecture education designed for the Malaysian landscape?

These questions point consistently to the need to relook at education design.
