Our students and faculty members engage extensively in “applied research”, which enhances the body of knowledge and creates a direct impact on real world applications.
All academic staff appointed at the degree level actively undertake research within the institution or in collaboration with industries or universities, either foreign or local. This research work shapes the creation and dissemination of new knowledge, feeding into the practical application of that knowledge, and ultimately informs and enhances teaching at Taylor’s.

Today’s built environment professionals, such as architects and quantity surveyors, seek to create appropriate spaces for different human activities, using innovative, functional and sustainable design practices. At the same time, they are responsible to manage the clients’ briefs and budgets to ensure that their interests and values are fulfilled.
A meaningful environment forms a necessary and essential part of human existence. As our environments continue to transcend from natural to built environments, managing this transition becomes the key to sustaining a healthy balance for the future.

One of the most interesting activities is the site analysis project, where we visit certain sites that are rich in culture. We are required to analyse and design a building that responds to the activities, cultures and climatic factors, as well as the site context.

At SABD, we believe that research goes hand-in-hand with teaching and learning, as it provides a more solid foundation and robust education of the subject matter. Our goal is to elevate our research centre, MASSA, into a renowned research centre in Southeast Asia, which focuses on scholarly activities and dissemination of knowledge on modern architectural heritage.
We intend to address the urgent need to include modern architecture as part of the architectural heritage in Southeast Asia, thus aiding the process of planning settlements and designing buildings that are suited to the context and continuity of the cultures of Southeast Asia.
As part of our initiatives to document our heritage, the students visited Kampung Cina, Kuala Terengganu, to examine the site and produce detailed drawings. These drawings were subsequently used to restore a temple to its former glory, after it was partly ruined in a fire.
Other research projects undertaken by our students include:

The Center for Modern Architecture Studies in Southeast Asia (MASSA), which was established in 2005, aims to create awareness of the significance of the modern architecture movement to the public, professionals and educational community with regards to the built environment.
MASSA aims to foster interest and promote studies in the ideas and heritage of modern architecture, through documentation of intellectual and physical heritage of modern architecture in the region. The documentation covers buildings, architect firms, policies, organisations and laws developed in Southeast Asia from the 1920s onwards.

For one of our projects, my classmates and I were required to document an
actual historical building in Malacca into architectural
orthographic drawings. Through this project, we
gained technical knowledge on documentation of an
architectural erection and also familiarised ourselves with
computer applications.
We emphasise on equipping students with relevant skills and capabilities, to enable them to contribute positively to an industry that is heavily focused on maintaining the balance of the built environment and ensuring a sustainable future.
Translating Theory into Practice
Our carefully tailored approach combines a strong foundation of theories, as well as avenues to apply these theories into practical settings, to maximise our students’ learning. To achieve this, we employ a variety of teaching and learning strategies that extend beyond the classroom, where students are exposed to real-life scenarios and industry-relevant experiences that are designed to bring the best out of them.
The faculty is committed to providing students with a challenging and rewarding educational experience, where students learn through creating, innovating and pushing the boundaries of building and design. Throughout their course of study, students are encouraged to explore, experiment and express ideas and techniques in their pursuit of gaining deeper insight into their chosen field of study.
