Welcome to Taylor’s School of Architecture ·Building ·Design

Since its establishment in 1998, the School has achieved a renowned tradition of excellence in built environment education and research in Malaysia. The School is one of the largest private institutions of higher learning offering built environment programmes to students from over 20 countries. We offer undergraduate programmes in two major areas of built environment, namely Architecture, and Quantity Surveying. All programmes are approved by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency and the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education.

We are reputed for our quality programmes, experienced faculty members, strong industry linkages and effective teaching and learning strategies. By studying in our innovative and multidisciplinary school, you will be prepared to pursue professional qualifications in the built environment fields as well as develop a wide range of knowledge and skills to shape the world we live in.

A meaningful environment forms a necessary and essential part of human existence. The famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright aptly said that “all fine architectural values are human values, else not valuable.” The key role of the built environment professional is to create appropriate spaces for different human activities through innovative, functional and sustainable design, while maintaining clients’ briefs and budgets to ensure that their interests and values are not compromised.

We seek to inculcate in our students a deep appreciation and understanding of the environmental conditions that shape our experiences for meaningful existence. We also endeavour to instill in them a desire to continuously improve the quality of the environment for individuals and the community at large by challenging them to think analytically, plan wisely, design imaginatively and build efficiently.

At our School, a variety of teaching and learning strategies are employedto maximise the students’ learning experience. Students will receive a strong educational foundation through numerous overseas excursions, public lectures, research seminars and extra-curricular activities to facilitate students’ active engagement with the various disciplines of studies and personal development. This is to ensure our students have an all-round education that will enable them to excel in their further studies and develop skills and experiences that prepare them to become outstanding professionals in their chosen fields.

I invite you to explore the School through this prospectus in your quest to become a professional in the exciting and rewarding built environment industry. Frank Lloyd Wright summed up our expectations of our students: “I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen”. I challenge you to place your trust in our ability to help you achieve the success that you dream about.

Taylor’s School ofArchitecture · Building ·DesignShape the World We Live In

The School of Built Environment was established in 1998 to offer students

Diplomas and Higher Diplomas in the fields of Architecture, Quantity

Surveying and Building Technology and Management. Students who

graduated continued with degree studies at the University of Brighton, UK,

through a credit transfer arrangement between both institutions.

The school was originally located at Taylor’s College, Kuala Lumpur - an

ideal location near numerous historical and cultural interests. The campus

was alive with lectures, practical work, tutorials, workshops and site visits

to construction zones and manufacturing industries. Students spent a great

deal of time in the Studio, where they gained inspiration, honed their craft

and let their ideas flourish into successful portfolios.

In 2000, a new partnership was established with the Faculty of Architecture,

Building and Planning of the renowned The University of Melbourne in

Australia. It was an alliance to commit to higher standards of quality in

education, heeding the call for world-class designs for buildings and

international standards of construction and infrastructure management by

the Malaysian government.

Coinciding with this new partnership and development in education, SBE

was relocated in 2001 to a new campus in the affluent district of Subang

Jaya with its rich mixture of residential, commercial and industrial facilities.

In 2004, the school moved to Taylor’s College, Petaling Jaya, in its effort

to realise a vision to provide fully integrated facilities in one locality. The

move also offers students the unique experience of studying in a business

setting and positioning them closer to the professional world. The new

school was then renamed the School of Architecture and Quantity

Surveying to feature its flagship programmes.

Build on a Foundation of Excellence

A Singular Focus on the Built Environment

The School of Architecture, Building and Design (SABD), as it is known

today, brings a new level of commitment to built environment education

by offering a range of programmes in the areas of Architecture and

Quantity Surveying. SABD aims to groom professionals to help realise the

Malaysian government’s vision of achieving the status of a fully developed

nation by the year 2020.

An important goal for the school is to constantly improve the quality,

aesthetics, functionality and efficiency of the built environment as a whole.

Programmes are fully accredited and are inspected in its entirety by the

National Accreditation Board or Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).

Among SABD’s highly successful initiatives are the annual SABD Lecture

Series, MASSA National Seminar and Activity Week. The Lecture Series is

a year-long programme of lectures conducted by building and construction

professionals. The MASSA National Seminar is an annual gather of

specialist engaged in presentations and debates on architectural themes.

Study visits are held during Activity Week, a programme that supplements

formal classroom learning through visits to various destinations locally

as well as overseas. Students gain knowledge directly from like-minded

professionals and evaluate topics of study through personal visits to

cultural, building and construction sites.

Architects – Master Conductors

An Architect’s Path to Future Success

An Architect is a design professional who is responsible for creating, planning and overseeing

a building project. Architects can be described as conductors in an orchestra where they

take the lead in managing all the goals within a built project to ensure success.

Architects employ imagination, creativity and design skills coupled with technical knowledge

of materials and construction processes to provide concepts, specifications, detailed

drawings and plans. They are masters at blending diverse requirements and disciplines to

produce living, working and recreational environments. They oversee construction, negotiate

with planning authorities and inspect the work in progress.

An architect’s role is holistic, and with increasing complexities of modern day projects, they

are required to take on many more responsibilities. Among these are feasibility studies and

implementation strategies, socio-economic studies and land use planning, urban renewal

and design, project management and building technology and systems.

As the world progresses, there is an ever increasing need for better built designs and

environments. As a lead player in built projects, an architect will always be in demand.

Architects can find employment in both the public and private sectors. In the public

arena, architects are employed in the various government departments as well

as the local councils. In the private sector, architects usually find recruitment

by architectural firms or set up their own private practices. The skills and

knowledge of an architect are highly sought after by contractors, building

products manufacturers and suppliers. Some architects may choose to

specialise in areas of industrial and institutional developments, historic

building conservation, restoration and maintenance, academia and

as journalists or critics.

Page 13: Taylors school of architecture, building and design

Quantity Surveyors – Master of Cost Control

The Quantity Surveyor’s Path to Future Success

Wherever there is a construction project, there will always be a need to save time and

money. Hence, the Quantity Surveyor’s expertise in managing costs and time factors

will always be highly sought after. Quantity Surveyors are predominantly employed

in the construction industry as consultants to clients in both the public and private

sectors. Besides being recruited by professional quantity surveying firms, the

Quantity Surveyor’s career prospects include employment by construction firms,

developers, local authorities and government agencies, specialist subcontractors,

financial institutions, property management companies, building materials

suppliers, building maintenance companies, education and other construction

related companies such as the oil and gas industry, mechanical and electrical

industry, as well as the shipbuilding industry.

A Quantity Surveyor (QS), also known as Construction Economist or Cost Manager, is a

professional advisor who provides accurate costings and responsible contractual advice

on residential, commercial and industrial construction projects. They are administrators of

efficiency and monitor costs and calculate ways to save time and money.

To achieve optimum cost efficiency, Quantity Surveyors work closely with the client and other

members of the design team such as Architects, Engineers, as well as Contractors and their

Sub-contractors, to ensure that costs are controlled and the requirements of the client are

delivered in a responsible manner. To this end, Quantity Surveyors are proficient in a range

of management procedures and employ various technical tools to achieve their goals.

Real World Exploration

Direct experience plays a significant role in learning architecture. The emphasis on

experiential learning provides an exciting and explorative way of gaining knowledge.

Learning takes place beyond the boundaries of the classroom, extending into cultivating

a learning environment through travel, conferences and workshops. Annually, SABD

organises study tours throughout the world for students to explore and experience

architecture in various countries.

Exploring Living Architecture

SABD students embarked on professional visits to various locations in United Kingdom, China, Singapore and Malaysia. The purpose of the trips is to inspire students to explore issues related to environmental awareness and heritage conservation and to spark ideas for their architecture projects.

Among the places visited are the following:Edinburgh College of Art, Sheffield Hallam University, Edinburgh’s Telford College, Terry Farrell’s, RMJM Architects and Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), United Kingdom Shanghai World Expo 2010, China

Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac)Rimbun Dahan, RawangMini Malaysia, Ayer KerohChurch of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Puchong

Activity Week

Participating in study tours is ideal for students to learn aboutarchitecture, construction, design and quantity surveying through firsthand exploration. Besides observing different types of buildings and landscapes, students are exposed to each destination’s history, culture, food and people.
