Teaser: Conversation with Huat Lim "Can Malaysian Architecture Schools be like the AA School?"
A teaser on the upcoming interview and conversation with Huat Lim, Managing Director of ZLG Design on the topic of "Can Malaysian Architecture Schools be like the AA School?" We will unpack a lot of stuff on the learning experience as Huat graduated from the AA school in the early 80s.
Huat Lim contributed as a part-time tutor in my 3rd-year design studio back in 2000 and 2001. I was conscious that I needed a strong theoretical and critical approach to assist with the studio learning back then and found out that Huat had been an external tutor in the AA school in the mid-80s. Now zoom into the last few years and we found Huat teaching as a part-time tutor in three private universities and colleges and has been consistently contributing with his lectures on a variety of intriguing topics. His experience as a design practitioner is prolific, with working on the Stansted Airport and Nimes Art Museum with Fosters and Associates, the Singapore Library with Ken Yeang, and producing works such as Boh Estate Visitors Centre and Point 92, among other notable works.
