Ayam Brand Architecture


institutions that privately offering "architecture" education as it is becoming like a very good strategy to initiate incomes..ermm...just by adding the "the text" as part of the program then..ka-blam!...one "architecture-based" program is on the way to the market...basically, this kind of "brand" managed to "mengeliru dan memperdayakan" the student...lot of tales of happiness and successful career path can be achieved thru "the brand"...some were being induced or may i qoute "seduced" to take this path as basically it leads to a "professional" tagline..(aren't we?)...unfortunately, the students now is trapped inside a "bubu" (traditionally handcrafted fish trap made of bamboo)...

they can't afford to get out (1% still managed to squeeze themselves out..) either being told that their "architectural education" is not being recognized by the "board" or technically knock out by the structure of "the brand"...their tales in pursuing "architecture-education" seems like a journey through the middle-ages..(remember the "romanesque" gloomy and dull...) seems like no nody cares about as long as RM is considered..who cares about the non-conforming "LAM" syllibus...just wait until the 3rd strike and then you're out!!!
what is architecture if not about design?..well basically the idea of design as a core subject is a must in every aspect...architecture without studio-life...what a genius!...a non-travelling architecture student?...Philip Johnson (RIP) would chocked himself...


nothing can be exposed to them after a hefty sum of RM being dump just to get the "architecture"...to put them inside "the box"...maybe to "condemmed" them inside is more appropriate...which is the "contradiction" of keep telling them to "think outside the box"...
FLW once said "education is about enlightment"...
finally, the students also play part as the negligence party...don't let "the brand" keep manipulating the system....
