PAM-Tan Sri Chan Sau Lai
Architecture Award 2015
Award to promote and recognise design excellence by budding Malaysian architects.
ON THE PREMISE that ‘good design adds
value to investment and economy’, the PAMTan Sri Chan Sau Lai Architecture Award
(TSCSL AA) seeks to promote and recognise
creativity at its best from the ranks of budding
Malaysian architects. As an “aspirational
platform that recognises outstanding
achievements in design”, it aims to showcase
fledging new talent, introduce/expose them
to their profession, and industry, of choice
and, hopefully, launch careers. Instituted in
2011 by its benefactor/co-founder architect
and PAM, the competition is unique insofar
as it is an open to PAM-registered Malaysian
final-year students or fresh graduates at or
from institutions at home and abroad.
There was more than just cause for
celebration at the 2015 edition of PAM –
TSCSL AA (the 4th in the series of 5); firstly,
as event organisers announced a three-fold
increase in entries, i.e., 92 submissions
compared to 32 in 2014, that were
subsequently shortlisted (Competition Stage
One) to 10 finalists. These finalists then
proceeded to make presentations of their
design in person or by tele-conferencing
(Stage Two) to a panel of judges consisting
of industry professionals, namely;
s Tan Sri Chan Sau Lai
s Ar Chan Seong Aun
s Ar Boon Chee Wee
s Ar Mohd Zulheime An
s Ar Lim Pay Chye
s Prof Lar Dr Osman Mohd Tahir
s Ar Saifuddin Ahmad
Secondly, glad tidings from PAM
President 2015/2016, Ar Mohd Zulheime
An, at the Award Presentation ceremony,
that many past winners of TSCSL AA are
now “contributing to national development
as well as the architecture profession in the
country.”
