Perbincangan bersama FRIM

Institut Penyelidikan Perhutanan Malaysia atau lebih dikenali sebagai FRIM (kependekan dari Forest Research Institute Malaysia) sedang dalam proses untuk memohon status Tapak Warisan Dunia UNESCO.

Kampus FRIM di Selangor ini merupakan hutan tropika ‘buatan’ manusia. Tapak FRIM pada asalnya merupakan tapak perlombongan pada hampir 100 tahun yang lalu. Kini, ia kaya dengan khazanah alam semulajadi dan tropika melalui intervensi manusia.

Banyak yang kita boleh pelajari dari FRIM. Saya juga merasakan, Australia yang baru-baru ini dilanda kebakaran hutan yang teruk, boleh belajar dari pihak FRIM tentang perhutanan semula (reforestation).

Kami di ISI , dengan hati terbuka, ingin turut sama menjadi sebahagian daripada pembangunan FRIM untuk mencapai hasrat mendapatkan status tapak warisan dunia, serta pembangunan dari segi fizikal dan akademiknya.

7th Malaysia Architectural Study Tour

7th Malaysia Architectural Study Tour specially choreographed for staff and students from Kansas University, 3rd – 9th January 2020.

Unfortunately, I’d injured my leg and could only receive our honorable guests in Laman Menanti, UTM.

I believe, our ISIV team from KL, can handle them well through out their architectural study tour. And it seems, that Kansas Uni had a great time.

Rumah Tukang Kahar

A working visit to House of Tukang Kahar — a traditional house belonged to Dato’ Panglima Kahar — the master craftsman who masterminded the architecture of Seri Menanti Old Palace, at Seri Menanti royal town. The house was translocated to its present site situated within the compound of the palace. We were entrusted to complete the installation of the house.
