Redefining Malaysian Terrace Residential Architecture by Introducing Passive ...Ong Seng Peng Jeff
Malaysia’s national population have been steadily increasing. A higher population meant that residential housing in Malaysia had reached greater demand than ever before, posing a challenge to house designers and urban developers. Many of these residential areas built had strong reference to houses in the West. However, these housing plans were perceived as neglecting our local traditions, climate and context, cutting off
ourselves from our past architectural heritage, which is highly practical with application of passive design elements.
As terrace houses are the most common typology of Malaysian residential houses, this paper focuses on issues regarding terrace houses in Malaysia, acknowledging their issues in terms of lack of passive design and sustainability. Thus, this paper suggests
methods that can be implemented to improve heat regulation, natural lighting and relevance to local context. A deeper analysis will be conducted on the two case study buildings (Rienzi House, Singapore and Salinger House, Kajang), identifying fundamental strategies to improve Malaysian terrace residential architecture in terms of heat regulation, natural lighting and
suiting its tropical context.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Introduction
I
n this assignment, our tasks are to interview a developer as a group work and rec-
ord a documentary video during our interview. Each of us need to produce a
magazine to demonstrate our understanding for our chosen construction team.
Well, we went to several places to interview the developers but we failed twice,
because the 1st is a software developer and the 2nd is a worker of the developer. We
found the real developer in the 3rd time. Nevertheless, we found that developer has
many types such as software developer, website developer and construction developer.
In completion of this assignment we will able to understand more about a developer in
construction industry.
What is construction developer?
In the construction industry, a developer can
wear one or two hats in a construction project.
He can just be the owner or both owner and
contractor. He is the one who have a piece of
land and initiates the project, financing it base
on the company fund, and develops land
through construction. After the project is
finished, he will becomes an owner of the de-
veloped land. The developer seeks a profit
from development of the land, either by selling
a development, such as a tract of residential
homes, a shopping mall, or an office build-
ing, or by holding the developed property to
reap a return on the investment.
No single path leads automatically
to success in real estate development.
Developers come from a variety of
disciplines— construction, lending, ar-
chitecture, law and accounting, among
others. The late Arthur N Levien a
prominent developer once described a
real estate developer as follows "a real
estate developer is a person who is not
an architect, engineer, plumber, iron
worker, attorney, appraiser, or any of
the dozens of other professionals in-
volved in the real estate development
process. It is however someone that
knows what each one of them does in
detail so as to get exactly what he or
she wants from each of them."
3. 3
Well, what are the responsibility
of a developer?
Adeveloper is the pioneer of the construction project, he
plays an important role throughout the project, Below are the
several task he need to perform.
Assess the project feasibility
He need to look at all aspects of construction viability including
construction site acquisition, planning consents, financing and
appointing a professional team to undertake the design and
construction. Historically, a developer's role was the remit of an
architect and for many projects still is, but for larger projects
it's more common for developers to take a managerial role and
apportion work to construction professionals who can under-
take and complete their own specialized roles within a project.
Financing and Set Project Timing
Developers are often the main financiers of construction projects. It is difficult to
estimate or determine some of the costs of construction work because the costs are
constantly changing. Some developers will have in-house accountants that are aware
of the financial aspects of running construction projects and more importantly when
to begin them. Nowadays, many building are built speculatively relative to econom-
ic trends which can quickly change.
Developer need to scheme their project carefully.
Assembling a Team
The logistics of running construction projects is complex and one of the key objectives
for a developer is the appointment of a professional team to undertake the design and
construction. Though some development companies will have all the resources within
their establishment, it's far more common to appoint consultants with specific
experience of the nature of the project they are engaged in. One of the greatest
demands on developers is the organization of the design and construction their liaison
to meet project deadlines.
4. 4
Management
A developer should well-versed in project
management and knowing the demands of
running a project in terms of resources and
manpower.
Working with multiple construction professionals
who often have their own agendas requires
patient and disciplined managers that are able to
get different groups working together towards a
combined goal. Meeting deadlines ranks among
the most important aspects of a developers
responsibilities so time management is very
important for a developer.
Cooperate with project manager
The developers will be responsible for carrying out the design and development
goals of the project and will work under the direction of their development manager
with the guidance of the lead architect and to respect the project schedule. They will
be expected to be motivated, with the ability to work in a dynamic team based
environment. The developers will hold the primary responsibilities of ensuring that
the designs and initial development efforts are going as planned and will be expected
to communicate with the development manager regarding any issues that arise on the
project that need attention.
Development Process
Here is a simplified version of
the real estate development flow
chart. The whole process actual-
ly will take a long time to go,
especially during the period to
get the approval from govern-
ment or the authority organiza-
tion. Sometimes it took about
half year to get the approval.

10 Qualities that a developer should possess
Reflection:
I agree on what Mr Tan said “building afford-
able house for the low income people.
”However, there are some people hoard the
properties and sell it higher prices in order to
earn more profit. This makes more foreigner
and localers to invest the houses in Malaysia
because they know the price will increase.
However, this harden the life of the low-
income people. I think they should consider
to design and build the economic-friendly
houses for the lower income people to help
the society live a better life.
1. Perspective. Ability to look from business perspective apart from developing estate.
Look for the market.
2. Questions. Asking why something is done that way. Discussing answers. Showing own
point of view. Trying to be objective in the whole thing.
3. Communication. It doesn’t have to be great but you should be able to talk with non-
developers in a way which is understandable by the other side.
4. Make mistakes. Actually everyone make mistakes, but not everyone is able to admit
that.
5. Experience. Had experience from different situation, different systems, different issues,
different architectures, different teams, different technologies, different environments. The
more the better.
6. Learning. Will and ability to self-develop, learn (quickly) new things and adapt to new
environments.
7. Digging. Understanding a problem to the very bottom. Trying to find out what’s hap-
pening under the hood. Rejecting easy trial-and-error explanations. Deal with the flaws,
Seek for higher and seek for improvement of your current achievement.
8. Reason. Every thing which is developed serves some purpose and using common sense
one can easily decide which actions are justified and which are not.
9. Passion. Treating development as at least something more than just a job. Will to do de-
velop something just for yourself, not because you were forced to.
10. Time management. Be able to manage his own schedule and meet the deadline of the
project.
