Schools of Architecture have always fitted somewhat uncomfortably into Universities, torn between training for practice in the manner of the early Technical College and the increasing demand to produce high quality indexed research papers that will elevate their host university in the global rankings. One might speculate on the effect of this on the Design Studio that is at the heart of architectural education. Numerous articles on architectural education in Malaysia have been published in learned journals but, surprisingly, this appears to be the very first book to be published on this important subject. It is anticipated that more will emerge from a reinvigorated PAM Education Committee.
