UCSI school of Archi, has wont the prize to make a train model for Hilton PJ . So they started to build it in october and planing was way earlier than that. The other day my School of Archi, Assistant Dean , Mr. Zani ask me if i could help out to finish making the models for the train project. Well feeling that i could help to make a difference and to help out , i said yes and i came the next day to help out. Well the models of shophouses that the lectures built was... how do i put this ... not up to mr zani's standard... and so he told us the students to re design it and make it look better . and so we dismental'd the model of the shophouses and did our best to improve the look of it... i started to help them since thursday and this picture's shows the progress of the train model as well as the model of the shophouses...

The classic infuence.

Well i grew up in an area where buildings just kept getting bigger and more modern , so i ask my self , "where did this inspiration come from?" . Just a few weeks a bunch a us when up to Penang , just by looking around i saw many things that infuence another ... well know as the "Pearl of the Orient", i really never got it until i got here. You will just be amazed how things still remains the same in this ever changing state. Here the old colonial heritage co-exist with the modern architecture of today, you will find many af the buildings here infuencing the other, may it be in the window design or even the details on the party wall. The chinese architecture as well as the malay architecture here have a strong colonial infulence and it can be seen on almost every part of the building it self however still maintaining its roots and origin.These are some pictures that shows what i have just said.
