1. Introduction

The main goal of the international competition, organized by ARCHIDEX and Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM) is to solicit new innovative architectural and urbanistic ideas dealing with current issues and challenges. The competition expects to generate thoughtful and provocative ideas that truly benefit mankind. A design challenge for the competition is to define architecture by proposing a design solution ranging from urban to architectural scale. Beyond a simple design competition, ARCHITALENT will continue to encourage creation, audacity and the capacity to imagine visions in realizing the world of the built environment.

2. Theme

‘THE REALM’
The architecture of the built environment can now be experienced in both the physical and virtual worlds. We are living in a realm of the physical environment in which all parts of the built environment challenges our daily life. Today, people would also be said to live together in an immersive, collective and hyper-realistic virtual environment. How would these realities be made possible?

THE REALM challenges us to design the living reality by defining architecture that would be able to address the real need of mankind; intelligence, emotional and spiritual. For instance, how would designers deliver architectural solutions that would be able to fit as much as possible the targets of 17 goals of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals? How would THE REALM address the challenges of past themes; Social Architecture (2017), Space (2018), Architecture 4.0: Towards Building A Better Nation (2019) and Future City (2022)? ARCHITALENT 2023 invites all architecture students to explore the endless possibilities within the architectural knowledge base in the big data world that is so large, fast and complex. The ideal proposal must be critical of the reality of the built environment within the abstract sphere of influence, be it real or imagined. The domain of architecture; THE REALM shall be founded and created in the realization of an innovative environment for the people.

Steel has long been utilised as a building material in Malaysia, yet its potential for even better local architectural design is yet to be fully realised. This training session helps to highlight the overall uses and methods of steel material and structure, its advantages as well as challenges, and certainly its interesting design potentials especially in residential architecture that will benefit Malaysian architects.

The modern housing industry has become drastically more competitive as buyers and even renters grow more passionate about trendy designs and home lifestyles. Join us for an inspiring session on how steel, especially coated steel, could help achieve your stunning residential designs.

We will explore a gallery of creative and attractive yet sustainable housing architecture and studying its various steel/metal applications in realising distinct building envelopes or structural elements. We then dwell in a little deeper detail on colours and finishing of coated steel and how they could coalesce well with varied elements such as roofing profiles to create unique looks of lasting designs.
