MIID Student Membership Talk

It was the beginning of the year 2013.
For us, degree students, there's a lot of assignments to rush before ending our semester, before CNY! For diploma ID students, they just return from a long holidays...how nice and envy we are!

Wednesday, January 9, 2013, the college had invited representative from MIID (Malaysia Institute of Interior Design) to brief us about the MIID. Really appreciate that! Though a little boring initially, we have a clearer understanding on the career as Interior Designers in Malaysia. And the best is, we are going to be identified as 'professionals". Let's all become the MIID student member!

Kolam Design Competition @ Viva Home 2012

The festival of lights is just around the corner and this year, Viva Home has organized a Kolam Design Competition where our college's team representative ; team Vanakam had been shortlisted to realize their kolam design.

Team Vanakam has brought a unique twist to their interpretation of a kolam.
Rather than using colored  rice in realizing their kolam, the girls decided to use stones that are dyed in tempera paste and strips of color paper.
This combination of the traditional and quilled kolam (made out of craft paper) is really an innovative and creative idea!

Rock, paper , kolam?
From 2D to reality
Quilled kolam.
Finished 'hybrid' kolam
So for those who are interested in voting for KBU's team Vanakam,
You can cast your vote at Viva home but that is only if you have spent RM100 and above or
Just morally support them by visiting their kolam! (:
Do check it out!!
Their competition results will be out this Monday so fingers crossed and best of luck girls!
In the meantime,

Happy Deepavali and happy holidays to all you IADians out there!

The Result....

We won ourselves Honorary Mention prize worth RM300!!! Not bad though.

October talks!

Hey, all! It's already November ; time sure flies doesn't it?
We'll here's a recap of some talks us IADians participated during the month of October

7th October 2012 : Nooks & Crannies Become Architecture


The talk was presented by Sir Peter Cook himself ; the founder of Archigram where he shares his unwavering passion for architecture ; his journey and also his take on technology and nature itself. 

Together he explains his conceptual attempt on his design while guiding us on how he had come to his design epiphany where he tries to tie the modernity of the world today with the order of the existing nature.
The power to decipher and extract the existing elements in his surrounding and adapting it to his conceptual idea is really admirable.

Peter Cook kept us entertained by embedding his personality into his speech ; he's quite a firecracker himself! A very lively and witty presenter if I must say so myself.

17th October 2012: Exclusive talk by Jamie Durie


Organized by Dulux ; one of the sponsors of the design TV series "The Apartment ; Style Edition" invited Jamie Durie; one of the judges of the TV series to give us fresh designers an insight on interior and landscape design

Jamie's design philosophy revolves mainly around how to bring the outdoors in as he merge the two elements into his interior designs.
The versatility of his design is eye opening as it creates a space of duality in terms of function and ambiance.
Not only that, he highlights to how we should lure users with 'magnets' where one does not give away the full story of the space; helps create the suspense in a transitional space.

Did I mention he's good with students?

Here's a picture of us IADians with him
