By studying in our innovative and multidisciplinary school, you will be prepared to pursue professional qualifications in the built environment fields as well as develop a wide range of knowledge and skills to shape the world we live in.
A meaningful environment forms a necessary and essential part of human existence. The famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright aptly said that “all fine architectural values are human values, else not valuable.” The key role of the built environment professional is to create appropriate spaces for different human activities through innovative, functional and sustainable design, while maintaining clients’ briefs and budgets to ensure that their interests and values are not compromised.
We seek to inculcate in our students a deep appreciation and understanding of the environmental conditions that shape our experiences for meaningful existence. We also endeavour to instill in them a desire to continuously improve the quality of the environment for individuals and the community at large by challenging them to think analytically, plan wisely, design imaginatively and build efficiently.
At our School, a variety of teaching and learning strategies are employedto maximise the students’ learning experience. Students will receive a strong educational foundation through numerous overseas excursions, public lectures, research seminars and extra-curricular activities to facilitate students’ active engagement with the various disciplines of studies and personal development. This is to ensure our students have an all-round education that will enable them to excel in their further studies and develop skills and experiences that prepare them to become outstanding professionals in their chosen fields.
I invite you to explore the School through this prospectus in your quest to become a professional in the exciting and rewarding built environment industry. Frank Lloyd Wright summed up our expectations of our students: “I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen”. I challenge you to place your trust in our ability to help you achieve the success that you dream about.

Taylor’s School ofArchitecture · Building ·DesignShape the World We Live In
The School of Built Environment was established in 1998 to offer students
Diplomas and Higher Diplomas in the fields of Architecture, Quantity
Surveying and Building Technology and Management. Students who
graduated continued with degree studies at the University of Brighton, UK,
through a credit transfer arrangement between both institutions.
The school was originally located at Taylor’s College, Kuala Lumpur - an
ideal location near numerous historical and cultural interests. The campus
was alive with lectures, practical work, tutorials, workshops and site visits
to construction zones and manufacturing industries. Students spent a great
deal of time in the Studio, where they gained inspiration, honed their craft
and let their ideas flourish into successful portfolios.
In 2000, a new partnership was established with the Faculty of Architecture,
Building and Planning of the renowned The University of Melbourne in
Australia. It was an alliance to commit to higher standards of quality in
education, heeding the call for world-class designs for buildings and
international standards of construction and infrastructure management by
the Malaysian government.
Coinciding with this new partnership and development in education, SBE
was relocated in 2001 to a new campus in the affluent district of Subang
Jaya with its rich mixture of residential, commercial and industrial facilities.
In 2004, the school moved to Taylor’s College, Petaling Jaya, in its effort
to realise a vision to provide fully integrated facilities in one locality. The
move also offers students the unique experience of studying in a business
setting and positioning them closer to the professional world. The new
school was then renamed the School of Architecture and Quantity
Surveying to feature its flagship programmes.
Build on a Foundation of Excellence
A Singular Focus on the Built Environment
The School of Architecture, Building and Design (SABD), as it is known
today, brings a new level of commitment to built environment education

Architects – Master Conductors
An Architect’s Path to Future Success
An Architect is a design professional who is responsible for creating, planning and overseeing
a building project. Architects can be described as conductors in an orchestra where they
take the lead in managing all the goals within a built project to ensure success.
Architects employ imagination, creativity and design skills coupled with technical knowledge
of materials and construction processes to provide concepts, specifications, detailed
drawings and plans. They are masters at blending diverse requirements and disciplines to
produce living, working and recreational environments. They oversee construction, negotiate
with planning authorities and inspect the work in progress.
An architect’s role is holistic, and with increasing complexities of modern day projects, they
are required to take on many more responsibilities. Among these are feasibility studies and
implementation strategies, socio-economic studies and land use planning, urban renewal
and design, project management and building technology and systems.
As the world progresses, there is an ever increasing need for better built designs and
environments. As a lead player in built projects, an architect will always be in demand.
Architects can find employment in both the public and private sectors. In the public
arena, architects are employed in the various government departments as well
as the local councils. In the private sector, architects usually find recruitment
by architectural firms or set up their own private practices. The skills and
knowledge of an architect are highly sought after by contractors, building
products manufacturers and suppliers. Some architects may choose to
specialise in areas of industrial and institutional developments, historic
building conservation, restoration and maintenance, academia and
as journalists or critics.
Quantity Surveyors – Master of Cost Control
The Quantity Surveyor’s Path to Future Success
Wherever there is a construction project, there will always be a need to save time and
money. Hence, the Quantity Surveyor’s expertise in managing costs and time factors
will always be highly sought after. Quantity Surveyors are predominantly employed
in the construction industry as consultants to clients in both the public and private
sectors. Besides being recruited by professional quantity surveying firms, the
Quantity Surveyor’s career prospects include employment by construction firms,
developers, local authorities and government agencies, specialist subcontractors,
financial institutions, property management companies, building materials
suppliers, building maintenance companies, education and other construction
related companies such as the oil and gas industry, mechanical and electrical
industry, as well as the shipbuilding industry.
A Quantity Surveyor (QS), also known as Construction Economist or Cost Manager, is a
professional advisor who provides accurate costings and responsible contractual advice
on residential, commercial and industrial construction projects. They are administrators of
efficiency and monitor costs and calculate ways to save time and money.
To achieve optimum cost efficiency, Quantity Surveyors work closely with the client and other
members of the design team such as Architects, Engineers, as well as Contractors and their
Sub-contractors, to ensure that costs are controlled and the requirements of the client are
delivered in a responsible manner. To this end, Quantity Surveyors are proficient in a range
of management procedures and employ various technical tools to achieve their goals.

Real World Exploration
Direct experience plays a significant role in learning architecture. The emphasis on
experiential learning provides an exciting and explorative way of gaining knowledge.
Learning takes place beyond the boundaries of the classroom, extending into cultivating
a learning environment through travel, conferences and workshops. Annually, SABD
organises study tours throughout the world for students to explore and experience
architecture in various countries.
Exploring Living Architecture
SABD students embarked on professional visits to various locations in United Kingdom, China, Singapore and Malaysia. The purpose of the trips is to inspire students to explore issues related to environmental awareness and heritage conservation and to spark ideas for their architecture projects.
Among the places visited are the following:Edinburgh College of Art, Sheffield Hallam University, Edinburgh’s Telford College, Terry Farrell’s, RMJM Architects and Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), United Kingdom Shanghai World Expo 2010, China
Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac)Rimbun Dahan, RawangMini Malaysia, Ayer KerohChurch of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Puchong
Activity Week
Participating in study tours is ideal for students to learn aboutarchitecture, construction, design and quantity surveying through firsthand exploration. Besides observing different types of buildings and landscapes, students are exposed to each destination’s history, culture, food and people.
