SOMETIMES we can’t help but be awed by what an architect can create, given a little space, some raw materials, and lots of creativity. Of course, it helps if clients have the moolah to back their quest for a dream building. But then again, the measure of an architect’s ingenuity is perhaps in how he or she can work around obstacles – even monetary in nature – to come up with something that elicits gasps of admiration.

And so the Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia (PAM) Architectural Awards are back this year to recognise local architects who pursue excellence in design. The awards, which started in 1970, received a total of 96 submissions, down from 165 received the year before.

This year’s awards allowed more flexibility as the jury was allowed to move projects from their nominated categories into another as it saw fit. Another change this year was the introduction of a new category, Alterations and Additions – and it’s about time, too, as so many Malaysians seem prone to renovating their homes!

“Because of this category, no project need be excluded on the basis of size or scale, as it’s the skill, design, creativity and viability of the alternation or addition that counts,” explained Wooi.

Some categories had clear-cut winners: the Overseas Project category, for in-stance. Dr Ken Yeang’s National Library of Singapore, which bears the trademark bioclimatic design principles he has practiced for 30 years, was the obvious winner.

Another clear winner was the KL Performing Arts Centre, winner in the Adaptive Re-use category for its beautiful blending of old and new architecture in Sentul.
