THE WORKSHOP
The workshop is an educational based event hosting a range of activities to encourage exchange of ideas and knowledge apart from strengthening ties between the various architecture student community in Malaysia. Participants are tested based on creativity as well as their mental and physical capability through the different explorative themed task and modules. These activities are geared at encouraging healthy competition among the future architecture graduates besides instilling courage and strong will amongst them before stepping into the realm of the working world.
THE OBJECTIVES
The following are the objectives of the program:
- Sharing of knowledge through informative seminars and talk sessions.
- To enhance the participants’ confidence, discipline, creativity and effective communication skill through participation in groups according to the program and module.
- To create a healthy relationship among the participants through fun activities and gathering sessions.
- Introducing and strengthening the name of local architecture to the outside world through participation of international universities/ institutions.
THE THEME
‘Terang’ is the term for brightness or clarity. It relates simply and clearly to the theme of light, and closely describes the idea that we aim for: a place, time and situation of light and all that light symbolizes.
Terang! symbolizes hopes and dreams, desires and ambitions, of well-being and happiness; hence the term ‘light-hearted’ used to describe a state of not being burdened by trouble, worry or care; and of good-spiritedness.
Terang! also brings the meaning of knowledge, a wholesome understanding, especially towards a more spiritual context; hence the term ‘enlightenment’ used to describe a knowing or an understanding of something, a “full comprehension of a situation”. For some, enlightenment is the ultimate goal for self-realization and completeness of life and the soul.
To achieve ‘terang’, to become ‘terang’, is, essentially, the ultimate goal.
THE PROGRAMMES
Various activities will take place throughout the Architectural Workshop 2011. These programmes are organized as a whole, incorporating the educational and moral needs, thus striking a balance through educational and proactive entertainment. To achieve the aims and objectives of the programme, the activities will be carried out through these methods:
- Group activities
Certain activities, especially the main module, will be carried out in groups. Participants from each participating institution will be divided into smaller groups randomly by the organizer. The aim is to increase their confidence level, discipline, communication skills as well as team working. Furthermore, it creates an opportunity for the participants to rub shoulders with others from different schools.
- Group competition based on school
Exhibition and performance will be carried out through this method. Participants will make necessary preparation at their own schools before departing to UTM. Entries will be submitted bearing their schools’ name and will be judged by professional judgers. Activities such as this create a healthy competition among schools of architecture.
- Free activities and competition
Bazaarevo and competition allows participant to participate, representing their school without being tied to their designated groups. They are free to submit as many entries as they like depending on the categories. Mini games are also organized during Bazaarevo and it is open to whoever wishes to participate.
- Programmes by organizer
There are several activities that are organized by organizer such as the opening and closing ceremony, as well as talks and seminar. Participants of the workshop are required to attend these activities.
