Assalamualaikum.
What, where and how to start, anyone? Ok, no one. Since I'm not very fond of long exaggerated essay, so I'll just make it short but very compact one. Of architecture, what can I say?
It's a tough course, and nobody can argue this, anybody? In the name of Allah, trust me, it demands EVERYTHING from you, sacrifice, courage, determination, responsibility, truth, patience, passion, what else? Can I say it's a process? We start from nothing, to something, developing from less functional till it perfectly functioning, from a sketch on piece of paper to a three dimensional model. It's a continuous process, towards pure creation of mind.
Malay traditional house design related to the culture of Malays, and climate in our region.
A mark which define some sort of culture, customs, civilization, climate, history of certain region and it revolutionized as time passing by, established certain relationship between environment, people and Creator, aroused one emotion, what is it? Obviously there is no any other answer, but architecture.
It's the art of strengthening your faith, art of widening your views, get out from tempurung and thinking without a box, art of bridging the gap among each other that varies because it's the variation that unites us, art of CRIT, refine the art of seeing to see the world beyond your naked eye, learn the art of get back up when you're failed, art of survival, too many arts lies in architecture which also wrapped up with science and technologies. Yet..
All of this won't never make us bigger when compared to the creation of our Almighty Architect, Allah SWT. May the things that we've learn all this while can make us even more closer to Him.
Till then, happy fasting.
