My interest in the Built Environment field came when I first met with one of Malaysia most successful architect, Hijjas Kasturi back in my early lower secondary. Since then, I’ve developed a great interest in the field of Built Environment, especially Architecture. I am studying Building Surveying because I believe it can build up a strong foundation for me in Built Environment and providing me with essential skills and knowledge to be a wise individual in the construction industry In my Diploma studies, I very much enjoy building design, as well as construction and project management as it being my most accomplished subject. Perhaps when a person is engaged in what his keen interest blossoms, he will never feel tired, instead he would feel motivated and have an enriching experience. Three years in the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying in the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Malaysia transformed my instinctive excitement and imagination about architecture into systematic knowledge and comprehensive understanding.
The world is forever growing and evolving, as is the demand for new buildings and good infrastructure. The pressures of population growth and global warming are ever increasing, and I want to play a major role in designing more efficient structures, as well as planning projects in developing countries. The study of construction world and architecture makes me begin to ponder on how to excel further in this challenging industry. I was so dedicated to such brainstorming and imagination that I would always work around the clock in the studio for days on end and also working on the construction site. Three years of Diploma study gives me a deeper comprehension of Built Environment. The industry offers superb career opportunities and huge potential for progression and advancement in later life.
