It's been some time :) </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I've been busy on the teaching and learning front.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I'm into my 4th teaching year in University of Technology Sarawak.

It was the culmination of 3.5 months of daily writing for 10 hours, 6 days a week. I thank God for sustaining me through that period!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The viva voce was a blast! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">It was awesome having <u>Kathleen Adams</u>, internationally renown anthropologist, as Examiner 1 and <u>Poline Bala</u>, top Kelabit scholar in the world, as Examiner 2. <u>Mostafa Rasoolimanesh</u>, head researcher of Social Science and Leisure Management from Taylor's University, completed the panel of examiners. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">It was wonderful when they announced that it was a pass with minor modifications! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">This forthcoming semester starting 21 Feb 2022 in UTS I shall teach <i>History & Theory of Architecture II</i> (again) & <i>Architectural Practice</i> to the undergraduates, and <i>Design Thesis II</i> to the Master's graduating cohort. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">It should be exciting, too, as my 3 M Arch students are looking at </span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><b><span style="color: #04ff00; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">cynosure and orangutan preferences</span></b></li><li><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #01ffff; font-size: medium;">drone transportation</span></b></li><li><span style="color: #ff00fe; font-size: medium;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">the development of freedom in Malaysia.</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I'll be researching and writing a few papers on the side. Reviewing for international journals has lately come in as a fun thing to do, too. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Roll on, 2022!</span></p>Sunpicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791802869605090657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31641099.post-64058515980207806712020-11-13T14:47:00.001+08:002020-11-13T14:53:36.475+08:00House for Fernando Pessoa by Filipe Paixao, Portugal: Building as landscape<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0l45Z6zAGCIWwXw8fy5TMkGN_aTOR3CXerLWsnQjeGrPuwXbCX92woCtN9RuSh4Otcp1bkmVHnDwCrHYZ4rtxJSoeup60d1fyOsrkRlZA7RR62wZqMZ6Wc1MEkUTzj3r9CYNg/s818/tumblr_munw2vCjts1qb8342o1_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="753" data-original-width="818" height="590" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0l45Z6zAGCIWwXw8fy5TMkGN_aTOR3CXerLWsnQjeGrPuwXbCX92woCtN9RuSh4Otcp1bkmVHnDwCrHYZ4rtxJSoeup60d1fyOsrkRlZA7RR62wZqMZ6Wc1MEkUTzj3r9CYNg/w640-h590/tumblr_munw2vCjts1qb8342o1_1280.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">https://nickkahler.tumblr.com/image/70522485737</span></p><p style="text-align: center;">Story and more pics in</p><p style="text-align: center;">https://www.designboom.com/architecture/house-for-fernando-pessoa-and-his-heteronyms-by-filipe-paixao/</p>Sunpicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791802869605090657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31641099.post-17312915774995588522020-11-13T12:04:00.004+08:002020-11-13T12:04:41.364+08:00Time Patch 2013-2020<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG5OBtteI6d59HIkYFOE28gwGIpiNFZP-L_RfNm6fD6YTArMV51rEpEPWJZzWG8dn2n8651UOaie2IVMONQ2GFgn5HwLrgOQxfo1X-IRMrE27rRjitDVQCtKefaC4e157Q-9yW/s1080/P+Mt+clouds.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="810" data-original-width="1080" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG5OBtteI6d59HIkYFOE28gwGIpiNFZP-L_RfNm6fD6YTArMV51rEpEPWJZzWG8dn2n8651UOaie2IVMONQ2GFgn5HwLrgOQxfo1X-IRMrE27rRjitDVQCtKefaC4e157Q-9yW/w400-h300/P+Mt+clouds.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">View from the top of Prayer Mountain, Bario, 2020.02.07</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So, the missing time patch is<br />Apr 2014 - Aug 2018: in Selangor, West Malaysia</div><div style="text-align: center;">Jan 2018: commenced PhD studies (Taylor's University)<br />Sep 2018 - Present: in Sarawak, East Malaysia</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Watch this space for more!</span></div><p></p>Sunpicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791802869605090657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31641099.post-70709678376266987892020-11-13T11:34:00.000+08:002020-11-13T11:34:24.011+08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="color: #ffe599;">
In this article in Perspectives, Massachusetts educator/author John D’Auria
suggests four proficiencies that students will need to be “nimble learners
responding to challenges and opportunities that none of us can foresee”:</span><br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" />
<br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" />
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="color: #ffe599;">
</span><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">• Seeking out diverse perspectives</span><span style="color: #ffe599;"> – “Too often, we gravitate toward
like-minded people,” says D’Auria, “a behavior that insulates us from expanding
our perspective… Preparing for a global society requires that we become curious
about how others think.” It also helps to learn another language.</span></span><br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" />
<br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" />
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="color: #ffe599;">
</span><span style="color: yellow; font-size: large;">• Valuing emotional insights</span><span style="color: #ffe599;"> – “Recent research into emotional intelligence
helps us to appreciate that emotions often contain important data,” says
D’Auria, “information that our cognitive processes are slower to grasp…
Emotional connectivity also links us to other human beings, even when we cannot
speak their language.”</span></span><br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" />

says D’Auria. He believes educators need to explicitly teach Carol Dweck’s key insights
– that intelligence and talent develop through working hard using effective
strategies. “We need to provide time and support for our students to value
experimentation and strengthen their capacity to learn from mistakes,” he
concludes. “Though errors, failure, and setbacks are not what we seek, we need
not fear them, and we should learn to recycle them into new learning.”</span><br style="text-align: -webkit-auto;" />

The project also postulates (the use of) Singapore's empty, overcast night sky as a new realm for waste transportation, in lieu of a starscape. The fact that food waste can be converted to electricity and bio-fertilizer through anaerobic digestion makes it a very promising source of clean energy, especially when contrasted with the exceptional predicament of Singapore's dependency on 100% energy imports. In that vein, this project seeks to emphasize the benefits of waste as a resource. This project offers (the) possibility of upgrading the existing recycling infrastructure both in social and aesthetic dimensions. </span></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The ultimate aim of all life cycles of material on earth is the closed loop. Cradle to cradle instead of cradle to grave. Imagine, if we manage to recycle all food waste (2010) in Singapore, it is enough to power 70% of their HDB flats (in which 80% of Singaporeans live.) </span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">But today the food waste recycling exists in isolation, from which they must be rescued through the holistic, conscious and cooperative effort of all parties. Regional strategy, local strategy and individual strategy must recognize a new perspective and learn to grasp the new systems of domesticating waste. </span><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Using trucks to carry them to the big centralized plant is not the most viable option because we are burning fuels for the waste transportation. Hence, food waste recycling infrastructure must be designed to grow along with the dynamic settlement patterns of fast-developing urban areas in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<li>Multi-layered programmes enrich outcomes.</li>
<li>The ability to infuse architecture with characteristics that induce varied readings (responses, perceptions) from the public (user) is an indication of design skill.</li>
<li>Understand the quantitative requirements of the brief, use the limit of floor space as a design enhancer. (10 sq m is no bigger than a single bedroom!)</li>
<li>Less is more (Rohe, MV); Less is a bore (Venturi, R); ...or Less is simply poor (Ng, A S)</li>
<li>Articulation of space, and a sense of enclosure are identifiers of architecture. (Less that, you may get just a landmark, however meritorious in its own right.) The Seat Public Pavilion just about achieves that identity, but for the SHAC competition brief it would need to be more.</li>

Trochim</span></span>) :</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 238); "><p style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; ">In logic, we often refer to the two broad methods of reasoning as the <em><strong>deductive</strong></em> and <em><strong>inductive</strong></em> approaches.</p><p style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; "><img src="http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/Assets/images/deduct.gif" align="right" width="400" height="171" />Deductive reasoning works from the more general to the more specific. Sometimes this is informally called a "top-down" approach. We might begin with thinking up a <em>theory</em>about our topic of interest. We then narrow that down into more specific<em>hypotheses</em> that we can test. We narrow down even further when we collect <em>observations</em> to address the hypotheses. This ultimately leads us to be able to test the hypotheses with specific data -- a <em>confirmation</em> (or not) of our original theories.</p><p style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6em; "><img src="http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/Assets/images/induct.gif" align="left" width="400" height="188" />Inductive reasoning works the other way, moving from specific observations to broader generalizations and theories. Informally, we sometimes call this a "bottom up" approach (please note that it's "bottom up" and <em>not</em>"bottom<strong>s</strong> up" which is the kind of thing the bartender says to customers when he's trying to close for the night!). In inductive reasoning, we begin with specific observations and measures, begin to detect patterns and regularities, formulate some tentative hypotheses that we can explore, and finally end up developing some general conclusions or theories.</p></span></div>Sunpicshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02791802869605090657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31641099.post-761870483123433602011-07-07T08:00:00.004+08:002012-08-17T12:35:47.633+08:00Stones of Life<div style="text-align: center;">
