Roadshow Exposes Architecture & Sustainable Materials Among Secondary School Students

Tales of Architecture 3 at Brainy Bunch International Islamic Montessori School, Cyberjaya

The Tales of Architecture roadshow focuses on the theme of the Sustainability Development Goal (SDG) and recycled materials are used in the activities. It is a great way to get secondary school students interested in architecture and prepare them for postsecondary study.

Previously two roadshows were carried out at SMK (P) Methodist Klang and Sekolah Menengah Teknik Kuala Lumpur that included talks from two speakers on their architectural journey, study – places to study, duration and working environment, as well as the required skills.

The activities curated are hoped to fosters creativity and lets children express their ideas and improve the future and divided into two sessions:

The first activity session is a group contest for model making which they will compete against schools. The theme of the model making is “”Our Future City,”” and recycled materials will be used. Each group will produce one model, and one model from each school will be selected to qualify for the inter-school competition. The winning model will be displayed in the PAM Centre in October 2023.
The second activity is an individual-based activity which is open for any students that would like to submit an individual entry separate from the group entry, also designing a building using recycled materials. The building should be sustainable and energy-efficient, and the design should take into consideration the SDG

The Tales of Architecture roadshow is an excellent opportunity for secondary school students to learn about architecture and contribute towards sustainable development. It is hoped that the roadshow will inspire the students to pursue a career in architecture and contribute to sustainable development.
