201609 2016 ANNUAL ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS WORKSHOP
Quality Education Education is the process of engaging, inspiring and encouraging people to build their own ideas, construct their own view and their own cognitive abilities. Providing the Environment to encourage Experimentation and a suitable Learning Experience is one of the core values of the UCSI School of Architecture and Built Environment.
Pushing Forward Together Every year, an architecture students’ jamboree will present itself as the platform for all to gather and experience the education of architecture. The spirit of such a workshop is to experience the art of making. Throughout the preparation, academicians act as a facilitators to smoothen the operation and provide support as needed to our students. The team of Lecturer-Students, work together with a goal to grow and learn together to forge a brighter future.
Critical Thinking In UCSI, you are being trained as a designer where you are not instructed to do, but to encourage the development of skills – the conceptualizing of ideas; the transformation of non-tangible ideas to tangible product.
The Making We encourage the process of making while providing the technical knowhow and equipment. It is the hands-on making experience that complete the learning process. Understanding your materials, its texture, warmth and flexibility, you explore the possibilities of creating.
Respect
Love to Sketch See Jia Xuan, a year 2 student originating from Muar, has both the passion and the skills to impress the audience with her vivid sketches. She has won the First Prize in Street Sketches of Penang Georgetown.
It is important to respect the rights of the learner to trial and error. In Architecture Students Workshop, we see it as a training ground for students to try out their own ideas, put their own ability to test, make their mistakes, realizing their weakness and strength. This is where they might fall but not without learning more of themselves; when they celebrate their success, they know why for sure.
Confidence Being representatives of UCSI SABE, we are confident to showcase the raw talent that the people of SABE possess. The quality of education is in the people who walked out of the institution with confidence.
