The Ideator

lately, i miss to keep track on the www of one of my x-lecturer or the one that has the "X" factors through out his idea(s) and approach(s)...
the idea of "Memahami Model Penghasilan (Niat Laku Hasil)" is one of the model that is very useful to me...

Truth Against the World

"what is education without enlightment? It's mere conditioning. And what is mere conditioning but maintaining mass ignorance, the poisoning end of what we call 'civilization'. There is nothing more dreadful, more dangerous, nothing to be more feared in this world, than plain or fancy ignorance. We can see this today in the drift towards conformity. We can see it in the education of modern-mass society. You can blame education for much of this because education has not seen what we have needed as a free people. It has not provided enlightment. It has provided conditioning instead."

Frank Lloyd Wright gave this speech in 1957 to a group of students..

1957 = we declare our independence..

2007 = marks 50 years of the event

i got this problem...students never (0.0001% seldom) ask me after my lecture..when i ask "o.k,..any question?"

everybody either say yes or no...i know, as a first year students this thing happened ..as what i had experienced it during my early years in education..

BUT

that is about 17 years back in 1990..when the petronas twin tower was merely a mode of ideas..17 years and now the same problem occurs to my first year students*..

DEJA VU ?...

someone** up there should do something..as nothing seems to be done to "correct" the "syntax error"...

* terms and conditions applied

**eventhough i mostly aggreed that "you're the navigator of your own destiny"

articles to read...

i got to know dr. tajuddin rasdi only a few years back...somehow there is something about him that i wished would have known or met him or the kind of lecturers* back from my archi-education period...

well as "tak kenal maka tak cinta" ...so try and have a peek into what he got to say..

is this architecture II

yesterday, 3rd of April...around 4:45pm...

the "hard rock" cafe of tago were blewn apart..

luckily the were no casualty...

imagine what if...

architecture is for all...there should be no discrimination to who..where or what you are...

ever heard architecture for the poor?

ever heard Hassan Fathy?

is our "hard rock cafe" a part of the "discrimination"

or is it just a part of the lack of "sense & sensibility"

or can it be because of we are being treat by those who suppose to be "human"

we're all human...(aren't we?)

only god's knows.....

* i once heard this..."sometime those individual in the human resource dept. must learn and act to be more human.."
