Dear all, we wish to inform that the deadline for submission of full papers will be extended to 2 July 2018, 12 am.

A gap exists between the academic world from the practice of architecture that has led to calls for preemptive measures to examine possibilities of new relationships between academia and industry. New models of education, prohibitive tuition fees that focus on overheads instead of student learning, the rise of sub-consultants and contractor-led forms of procurement and fewer job opportunities in the profession are some of the emerging issues that call for re-thinking of the future of architectural education and its relation to practice.

In Malaysia, the launch of the PAM International Architectural Education Conference 2018 is timely to address a globalized phenomenon affecting a national concern as it has been rated as the 9th most in-demand job in Malaysia . As an engine of philosophical, economic and cultural advancement, the importance of Architecture in the scale of development of any country and its citizens cannot be ignored. As an initiative to offer solutions between architectural education and practice, the PAM International Architectural Education Conference 2018 seeks ideas and contributions of academicians and practitioners to forge a reciprocal relationship to enrich education providers, students, graduates, professionals and the general public.

Participants will be offered the chance to contribute to the conference in various roles: they can discuss keynotes, produce a poster presentation, or as a speaker with short presentations touching upon subjects under the sub-themes. The main theme for this event is The Future of Architectural Education & Practice; leading to the three sub-themes for the PAM International Architectural Education Conference 2018.
