MSA Portfolio

Every inch in this world has its own potential as stepping stone for new inspirations and ideas for the architect. However, the reason why I choose MSA as my future school for my further architectural study is because of the metropolitan surrounding of the city gives me the fresh insights and experiences for my whole college life in outside of my country. Together with MSA high ranking architecture institution in the country, I hope I will gain and share knowledge from other students with diversity of ideas and creativities.

The visit to Ipoh Railway Station during my last end year holiday for a recent project opened my mind about the architectural value of building. Built in 1914 with Neo-Classical style, this railway station was one of the most prestigious structures during that time, but now, it’s only functioning as typical railway station, losing its magnificent pride of the historical building in the state. This matter made me realise, the task of architect was not only about designing buildings but also working how to retain the value of enthusiastic of the building.

The same as Kuala Lumpur Petronas Twin Towers, the visit to this structure during my early childhood opened the gate of my interest in architectural design. I was totally inspired with how the religious Islamic symbol was reinvented with modern design to create the basic design of the tower and the concept of sky-bridge which connecting the two towers was advantageous, giving an ease access within the two towers, and at the same time, acting as a good place to witness the rapid urbanisation of the city of Kuala Lumpur.

Sometimes, all the sky-scraper designs create a lot of inquiries in my thoughts. How they able to construct it, which material to be used, how to make it cost-efficient, does the weather will be main factor for the construction, how it will affect the people surrounding the building area? All of these questions, I will find the answers during my study and studying in MSA will give the golden opportunity for me to discover and experience in sky-scrapers design process.
