Expression: Talk Modules

Archifest "Prologi" 2009 had introduced us "Borak-Borak", which is a talk session by an invited speaker delivering their topics in a relaxed manner. Since then, the module had been recognised as an effective medium for Archifest organizers to encourage the exchanging of thoughts and ideas amongst students, lecturers and the speaker as well as critical thinking of its participants on various subjects.

Therefore, Archifest Expression 2011 is proud to bring to you our own version of "Borak-Borak", talk modules which are open to all architecture students as well as lecturers. The talks would discuss the topic of Photography, Timber Construction and Music in architecture, all of which would be held in FSPU Lecture Hall.

"Let's Speak Picturesque!" - Photography Talk

Time: 3.00 pm-5.00pm

Date: 6th Oct 2011, Thursday

American architect Julia Morgan once said, “Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.“ Architecture serves as a voice to express the artistic stance of the architect at that time. Photography takes a step further to interpret architecture in several ways.

Here's your chance to explore photography and even discover some useful tips on photo-taking. Held a day before the Archifest Expression opening night Exclusiv, the talk will be devised by Dr. Adzrool Idzwan, a lecturer specially invited from UiTM Faculty of Art and Design (FSSR).

'Can I Have a Wood with You ?' - Timber Construction Talk

Time: 9.00 pm-3.00pm

Date: 9th Oct 2011, Sunday

Through massive technology breakthroughs and advancements, architecture is introduced with a variety of new typologies of construction material. Timber, in the perspective of modern architects, is becoming an uneconomical and overrated construction material. Most architects only use such materials to achieve traditional facades or achieve the concepts of 'harmony with nature'.

The objective of this talk is to enlighten architecture students the application of timber not only as a construction material, but also as a design generator for modern architecture. The invited speaker is Prof Zakiah, a lecturer from UiTM Civil Engineering Faculty (FKA).

Tune-in - Talk by Tune Studios

Time: 3.00 pm-5.00pm

Date: 13th Oct 2011, Thursday

Music and Architecture has always been related to one another. One of those relations is architectural acoustics, the science of noise control within buildings, which includes room acoustics, recording and broadcast studios, as well as home theaters. Although the design consideration is still relatively new in Malaysia, it has been widely practiced in overseas.

The talk will feature Roslan Aziz, a special guest from Tune Studios as the speaker.
