There has been a paradigm shift in architecture education to embrace the 21st century attributes for graduates. While attributes such as problem solving, critical and creative thinking, interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, and technological as well as global awareness have been central to the curriculum design in architectural education, this paper posits the need to critically examine the emerging 21st century attributes, and how they can be embedded into architecture education. In recent years, it is clear that these attributes have been designed and executed into design and other-related student projects through either extra-curricular platforms or at modular level, however there is a lack of exploration of these attributes as structured and intentional design at curriculum level. Using design research in education as the methodology for study, this paper explores the design thinking for architecture education that embraces these attributes. This paper justifies and argues for the need to re-think architectural education in relation to these attributes and offers a conceptual thinking, framework and principles for curriculum design.

Several studies have shown that plants with a variety of performance categories can improve indoor air quality (IAQ). In addition, it has positive impacts on occupants’ concentration ability, work efficiency, job satisfaction, mental health, stress reduction, and sense of well-being. However, there is few research that have focused on the impact of indoor plants towards physical indoor environment. Therefore, this study performs several experiments to examine the impacts of indoor plants on physical indoor environment in Malaysia. This study further observes the use of five different species of potted plants and its effects on the IAQ concerning the physical parameters of air temperature and relative humidity in a classroom and an office room setting environment. Moreover, this paper explores the function of plants as a natural air purifying agent and temperature regulation, as it helps to cool down the internal temperature of a building while providing areas of the building with an aesthetic element. This study involves the assessment of plant and indoor space benefit studies, as well as the description of plant varieties and characteristics. Finally, the overall findings from several experiments show significant differences in relative humidity and total target volatile organic compound (TVOC) in the room. With intervention, it can be concluded that the inclusion of potted plants in a room have improved all parameters measured compared with that in normal condition. For future works, it is proposed that further study is done on the form of species, including the importance of understanding the need for positioning the potted plants in indoor environments.

In urban design research, it is vital to search the role of place attachment as an element that places significant meanings that include physical characteristics, activity and meaning that contribute to the sense of place. In urban studies, most of the study leads to the importance of physical characteristics and activities towards the sense of place; however, research on place attachment roles as part of the sense of place has not been sufficiently done. This paper aims to search the role of place attachment in creating a sustainable sense of place in two main traditional streets in Alor Setar, Jalan Tunku Yaakub in Pekan Cina (JTY) and Jalan Kampung Perak (JKP). Field survey and Semi-structured interviews were conducted as a data collection method, and all the content were analysed to accomplish a thorough interpretation of the findings. The findings show that users attached to the traditional street in Alor Setar, Kedah, dominate and influence the place's identity. The street view is vital in daily engagement attached whereas, the mobile users of the streets are primarily attached in terms of functionality. In addition, the meaning and history also influence the user's attachment to the place. In conclusion, the roles of place attachment on traditional streets attributes should be considered to sustain the sense of place for the future development in Alor Setar.
在城市设计研究中，寻找地方依恋的作用是至关重要的，它作为一个元素，赋予重要的意义，包括物理特征，活动和意义，有助于地方感。在城市研究中，大多数研究都指向物理特征和活动对场所感的重要性;然而，作为地方感组成部分的地方依恋作用的研究还不够充分。本论文旨在探讨在Alor Setar的两条主要传统街道上，中国Pekan (JTY)的Jalan Tunku Yaakub和Jalan Kampung Perak (JKP)，地方依恋在创造可持续的地方感中的作用。实地调查和半结构化访谈作为数据收集方法，并对所有内容进行分析，以完成对调查结果的彻底解释。研究结果表明，在吉打州的Alor Setar，传统街道的使用者主导并影响了这个地方的身份。街景在日常互动中至关重要，而街道的移动用户主要是在功能方面。此外，意义和历史也影响着使用者对这个地方的依恋。综上所述，应该考虑地方依恋在传统街道属性中的作用，以维持Alor Setar未来发展的地方感。

The use of public-private partnership (PPP) strategies in the delivery of public works projects has grown in popularity as an alternative delivery model, although its implementation has met with inconsistent success. Numerous studies have linked the effectiveness of public-private partnerships (PPPs) to the unique characteristics of various administrative environments. This comparative research used a case study technique to analyze the similarities and contrasts between the essential elements that determine the success of public-private partnership (PPP) housing projects in Malaysia and Nigeria. However, whereas ‘equitable risk allocation', ‘stable political system', and ‘reputable developer' are the most key success variables in Nigeria, ‘action against errant developer', ‘consistent monitoring, and homebuyer demands' are still the most crucial success aspects in Malaysia, according to the research. The results contribute to a better understanding of the environmental factors that affect the relative relevance of CSFs in public-private partnerships in underdeveloped countries.

This paper reports on a study exploring the perspective of employers on architecture graduates’ employability skills during their employment. The study employed a survey research methodological approach. A total of 85 employers completed the survey. The findings of the study revealed that among the four employability skills dimensions measured, the communication skills dimension was scored highest, (M = 3.69, SD = 0.78), this was followed by career-related and teamwork skills (CTW) (M=3.64, SD=0.732), technical skills dimension (TECH) (M=3.52, SD=0.79) and the lowest total mean (M=3.41, SD=0.84) was reported for critical thinking skills (CT). The study elucidates that employer value graduates’ communication skills; however, they expected the graduates to demonstrate a range of other essential skills that include critical thinking, problem-solving, leadership and profession-related skills such as construction and structure that is essential to develop and build their design. Consequently, the study suggests for the HEI to unlock the existing curriculum, adopt the work-based learning (WBL) approach which allows greater partnership with employers and exposure to the real-life project, to develop the essential employability skills that employers value.

Construction waste that emerges from construction sites has become a major global concern due to its negative carbon footprint on the environment. Due to underrepresented construction waste specific data in Malaysia, this paper aims to identify sources, causes, types of construction waste and decision-making factors of construction waste management in Malaysia's construction sites. A questionnaire survey was administered to 60 construction practitioners representing different construction sites in Peninsular Malaysia. A descriptive analysis using the Relative Importance Index (RII) was used to rank the items asked in the survey and categorised them into high (RII>70%), medium (50%

Building maintenance has become an invaluable process in the field of the built environment with the purpose of retaining building value and quality. Life Cycle Cost (LCC) is important in the maintenance field as it can reduce maintenance costs without affecting the performance of services. However, the application of LCC in this country is limited due to a lack of awareness and knowledge about LCC. This research intends to identify the components of LCC and its impact on the maintenance performance of lift systems in high-rise residential buildings. Lift systems are important for high-rise buildings to transport occupants from the ground floor to upper floors but most lift systems have not been effectively managed and maintained in Malaysia, which has resulted in severe injuries to users and even death. Yet, there is a lack of data regarding high-end high-rise residential buildings. Hence, this research will focus on lift systems in high-end high-rise residential buildings. A mixed-method approach has been adopted whereby questionnaires were distributed to building managers of high rise residential buildings in Klang Valley and interviews were conducted with building managers from the selected case studies. With the application of LCC, the maintenance team can consider all the LCC components of the lift system during the decision-making process and improve the maintenance performance of the lift system by having lower breakdown rates, fewer complaints received and quicker response times.

Temporary housing is immediate shelter needed after a disaster for the displaced people. A vast quantity of living quarters are required in a limited time and developed mainly by many different parties. Thus they had produced a wide range of qualities of the accommodation caused due to various considerations. After its initial period, countless transitory houses were still used for years and turned into permanent dwellings, yet others just left empty since the beginning. This paper examines how housing needs recovers and how shelters are resilient to the people in a post-disaster period. One hundred one samples of temporary refuge in Sigi after the 7.4 M Palu earthquake 2018 built by four influential organisations were examined its architectural properties and occupancy. The result shows that safety, comfort, and the expectation for permanent housing significantly determine the houses' success rate. The acceptability level is ensued from top to bottom as follows: the standalone unit with the user involvement; with the local resources; with the fixed package given; and the shared unit package, respectively.

For the design of schools in Colombia, NTC 4595: Planning and Design of School Facilities and Environments, offers design recommendations to achieve comfortable spaces in terms of thermal, visual and auditory comfort. The aim of the contribution, derived from a PhD research, is to analyze the comfort in classrooms of public schools in Cali in terms of: a. climatic moments and b. level of compliance with the Technical Standard, in order to validate the relevance of the recommendations to the comfort perceived by students. The methodology used is the User Perception Environmental Audit, in four public schools, for which measurements of environmental parameters were made with specialized equipment and surveys of 535 students. Statistical processing was carried out using test for paired samples, and one way ANOVA's. Among the main findings is the low use of external environmental conditions, derived from inflexible architectural envelopes; in addition to the low relationship between compliance with the standard and the comfort perceived by students. This demonstrates the need for further study of the normative ranges and recommendations for tropical contexts such as the one studied.

Co-housing is a collaborative housing concept designed to foster close social bonding and sustainable communities. With the rapid population growth, urban sprawls and housing prices in Malaysia, this concept has gained traction in the housing sector as a viable housing alternative to the existing property market due to its social, economic and sustainability benefits. This paper aims to establish a set of design best practices by conducting a qualitative study on three selected Malaysian co-housing locations and design providers (DP). The methodology consists of interviews, literature reviews and case studies where data gained from the interviews are reviewed with data from the literature and case studies. The resulting analysis recommends that co-housing should focus on the following design aspects: demography size, surrounding context, spatial configuration, space design, “environmental psychology theory” and sustainability considerations. This paper concludes by providing several potential co-housing issues and recommendations for enhancing the benefits of co-housing in Malaysia.

With the rapid population growth, urban sprawls and housing prices in Malaysia, this concept has gained traction in the housing sector as a viable housing alternative to the existing property market due to its social, economic and sustainability benefits. This paper aims to establish a set of design best practices by conducting a qualitative study on three selected Malaysian co-housing locations and design providers (DP). The methodology consists of interviews, literature reviews and case studies where data gained from the interviews are reviewed with data from the literature and case studies. The resulting analysis recommends that co-housing should focus on the following design aspects: demography size, surrounding context, spatial configuration, space design, “environmental psychology theory” and sustainability considerations. This paper concludes by providing several potential co-housing issues and recommendations for enhancing the benefits of co-housing in Malaysia.","PeriodicalId":37954,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Design and Built Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85157707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
