Currently, writing has been marginalised in contemporary Asian culture while the wealth of Asian Literature spans longer than Latin language. Writing culture among architecture students are worst or even, non-existence. This blog would like to recognise the writing talent among architecture lecturers and students in architecture department of University Technology Malaysia and hope to inspire more to write about architecture and urbanism. The strength and focus in architecture school might be communication in the form of drawings or graphics, but writing would be one of the strongest tools for some to envision an idea before designing. We hope to cultivate such interest and talent, whilst inculcate the importance of knowing how to abstract essence from the readings as rational justifications and reasoning behind the act of designing. Submitting to aesthetic pleasing visual works without a critical reason is nothing but a hollow shell without substance.
