KUCHING: The Malaysian Institute of Architects Sarawak Chapter (PAMSC) will be holding a series of online lectures on architectural designs starting on October 2.
PAMSC chairperson, Ivy Jong explained that the5at5 Design Forum 2020 was part of the PAMSC Design Festival (PDF) programme which was postponed in March due to the enforcement of the movement control order to contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
She said the online lectures for the forum would be conducted on five consecutive Fridays at 5pm.
“In the face of adversity, we must adapt to change and make the best of the situation. I believe organising free online lectures will encourage young architects and members of the public to join and participate in the discussions and improve their knowledge on designs.
“We have decided to downscale and convert the PDF festival into a series of five online lectures which include design lectures, site visits to local buildings of significance with exhibitions of products and ideas,” Jong said in a press statement issued on Tuesday (Sept 29).
Five speakers will be delivering the lectures themed “Architecture of Place”.
The first session on Oct 2 will be conducted by Wooi Lok Kuang from Kuala Lumpur, followed by Rafael David from Jakarta on Oct 9, Shin Chan from Mentahmatter Design on Oct 16, the creator of the Little Giraffe Story House, Lee Soon Yong from Kuala Lumpur on Oct 23 and Jia Kun from Chengdu, China on Oct 30.
Interested participants and parties can register online via www.pamsc.org.my .
