ASSIGNMENT1 CONCLUSIONOF
LEGISLATIVEANDREGULATIVEDIMENSIONSOFINTERIORDESIGN
In Assignment 1, we were presented with a selection of 9 topics, allowing us the freedom to choose the subject that piqued our interest the most. After careful consideration, my group and I opted to delve into the MIID Contract. Our initial attraction to this topic stemmed from a curiosity about the financial implications associated with such contracts.
Upon delving deeper into the intricacies of the PAM and MIID Contract documents, we soon realized that our focus extended beyond monetary concerns. The contract's dynamics became increasingly fascinating, particularly the roles played by the Interior Designer, Client/Employer, and Contractor.
I found this exploration particularly beneficial as it aligns with my aspirations to pursue freelance work utilizing my skills in the future. This study has equipped me with invaluable insights, providing a framework to evaluate and comprehend contract terms that were previously unfamiliar to me.

ABSTRACT
FORUM 1 CONVERSATION
Future Interior Designer and Future Practices
DESIGNERS
Embrace the value through skills creativity and dedication in design software to enhance complex design to client experience rather than relying on automated solutions
Designer’s understanding could not be replicate by AI
AI serve as inspiration and speed up rendering
Designers should see technology as an equal, blending human creativity and emotional intelligence with AI's precision
Focus on personalized service, unique creativity, and understanding clients needs
Designers can provide unique solution for clients
Designer’s creativity is deeply emotionally driven AI helps designer to improve planning accuracy
AI helps designer when they ran out of ideas.
Designers must attend professional talks, seminars, and workshops to stay current with trends
A Completion and Compliance Certificate (CCC) is an essential legal document issued by the local authorities in Malaysia. It signifies that a building project has been completed according to approved plans and complies with Malaysian building codes, regulations, and safety standards
In Malaysia, it is mandatory to obtain a CCC before a property can be legally occupied. CCC confirms that a building is safe for occupation, emphasizing public safety It also highlights the complexities and diligence involved in the application process, underlining the importance of transparency, adherence to regulations, and cooperation between developers and local authorities to ensure that structures meet the highest standards of safety and compliance.
WHAT IS PSP?
Principal Submitting Person or known as PSP is a qualified person who submits building plans to the local authority for approval in accordance with these By-Laws and includes any other qualified person who takes over the duties and responsibilities for or acts for the f rst-mentioned qualif ed person in accordance with by-law 7
WHO IS THIS QUALIFIED PERSON?
Professional Architect
Professional Engineer
Registered Building Draughtsman under any written aw re at ng to the registration
IS CCC RELEVENT FOR INTERIOR DESIGNER?
In my op nion, CCC does relevant to Interior Designer as well since we need the approva from the local author ty for the changes we have made. Espec a y to major changes in property. If the property owner dec de to sell a fu y renovated house but did not obtain the CCC, he could not bid a h gher price to the market since the house is not insured That would be such a waste
SUBMITTING BP
&
CCC TO LOCAL AUTHORITY
Provide rich source of inspiration information and feedback.
Helps designers to boost their creativity, productivity and quality of their design
Allow designers to create immersive and interactive experiences towards client’s needs.
Act as a creative awareness.
Is CCC relevant for Interior Designers? Can we submit the Building Plan (BP) and CCC to the Local Authorities? Who is the PSP? Is a CCC still valid when a renovation/alteration to the original plans are done? How will you advise your client? Expand and discuss the above in the context of Interior Design

A Simple Guide to Obtaining KM, BP & CCC for Development Projects in Malaysia
FORUM 2 CONVERSATION
We can submit both Building Plan & CCC to the Local Authority that s based on the area if we have the Qualified Person in a f rm for approval once the project s comp eted which certif es that the building works comply with approved plans and relevant regulations . But t can be crucial s nce it takes weeks or months for approval from the Local Author ty
CCC VALIDATION TO RENOVATIONS
CCC indicates compliance with bu ding codes and regulations at the time of issuance, any subsequent renovat ons or a terations may impact its va dity For examp e:
Minor Changes: If the renovations or a terations are minor and do not affect the overa compliance of the structure w th build ng codes and regulations the CCC may st be valid
Significant Changes: If the renovat ons or alterations are s gnif cant and affect structural elements safety features, or compliance with building codes it may be necessary to obtain a new or revised CCC.
ADVISING CLIENTS TOWARDS ALTERATIONS
The best communication is between humans
AI creativity is limited compared to humans
AI information should be carefully studied before being sent out or implemented. Thus, AI can not achieve the level of custom zation and empathy as humans AI development is LIMITED!
I would adv se my c ent to determine or identify if the Interior Des gn project involves structural changes or significant alterations that require regulatory approval Then hire a qualified Principal Submitting Person (PSP) to ensure all plans and documents are accurately submitted to the local authorities Next, obtain any necessary approvals for the Building Plan (BP) from the local authorities before starting any work Fina y, ensure the CCC is obtained upon project comp et on to certify compliance with the approved plans and regulations.

ABSTRACT
FORUM 3 CONVERSATION
WHAT IS PASSIVE FIRE & ACTIVE FIRE?
We must have adequate knowledge of Fire requirements for the spaces we design Discuss in detail why Fire Safety is important for Interior Designers, and not only Architects.
ARTICLES / VIDEOS :
Designing for Fire Safety: fighting fires from the outside and the inside of buildings Building designs comply with Malaysia's Uniform Building By-Law (UBBL) 1984, combining both passive and active fire protection systems for comprehensive safety measures. Can UBBL guidelines be further improved to address emerging challenges and advancements in fire safety? What recommendations would you propose for improving the effectiveness of UBBL guidelines in ensuring fire safety in buildings but not limiting architectural design and innovation?
RURB-DCP WEBINAR SERIES #28: The Compliance of Fire Safety Design in Building Based on UBBL 1984
Components or systems of a bu ding or structure that s ows or impedes the spread of the effects of fire or smoke w thout system activation and usua y without movement Passive systems nclude: floor-ceilings and roofs, fire doors, windows and wa l assemblies, fire-resistant coat ngs and other fire and smoke control assembl es.
SUGESSIONS FOR THE FUTURE
Un form Bui ding By-Laws (UBBL) can certa nly be mproved to better address emerging challenges and incorporate advancements in fire safety technology and practices Here are some ways th s cou d be achieved:
Integration of New Technologies Update the UBBL to nc ude provisions for integrating advanced fire detection and suppress on techno ogies such as smart fire alarms smoke detectors with IoT capabil ties, and automated f re suppression systems These techno ogies can prov de faster response times and more accurate detect on of fire inc dents
Enhanced Structural Requirements: Revise building standards to incorporate stronger fire-res stant materia s and construct on techniques that enhance the structural ntegrity of build ngs during fire incidents This could include better fire-rated materials for wa s, floors, and roofs
Improved Evacuation Planning: Include requirements for comprehens ve evacuat on p ans and routes that consider the needs of all building occupants, including indiv dua s with disabilities or mobility challenges This may invo ve des gnated safe areas, c earer s gnage, and improved emergency communication systems
An integral part of f re protection and characterized by tems and / or systems, wh ch requ re a certa n amount of motion and response in order to work contrary to pass ve f re protection Act ve Fire Protection consists: Manua Fire Suppression Automatic Fire Suppression
FIRE SAFETY IMPORTANCE TO INTERIOR DESIGNER
Fire safety s crucial for Interior Des gners for several reasons:
Inter or designers must adhere to building codes and regulations that include fire safety standards Failure to comply can lead to legal issues and endanger occupants
Ensur ng fire safety means protecting the lives of building occupants. Design e ements such as evacuation routes, fire-resistant materials, and adequate access for firefighters are essential
Inter or designers choose materials that are fireresistant or less likely to spread fire This includes furn sh ngs fabr cs and finishes that meet safety standards
Proper placement of fire alarms, sprinklers, and emergency exits are integra parts of inter or design These elements must be incorporated seamlessly into the aesthetic and funct ona aspects of the space

ASSIGNMENT3 INTRODUCTIONOF
FUTUREPRACTICES(FORMATIONOFIDCP)
As for Assignment 3, we were given a choice of Sole Proprietary, Partnership and Body Corporate.
Body Corporate was chosen for this assignment mainly because of the idea that the corporate name is not tied to the directors of the company. Therefore, there can be a succession plan that allows employee to have career advancement opportunities. In a well-structured corporation, succession planning often includes career development programs for employees. These programs can provide clear pathways for advancement within the company, offering employees opportunities for promotions and leadership roles. This not only motivates employees but also helps in retaining top talent.

FUTUREPRACTICES(FORMATIONOFIDCP)
Assignment 3 sets the scenario for students to re-imagine and re-conceptualize the ideal architectural practice of the future. Participants are encouraged to consider various challenges often faced by architects / designers and propose solutions and innovative business models.
In deciding the desired business context, students need to evaluate critically the data obtained in Project 1. in doing this assignment, students will be clearer about their own vision and mission in forming their own design company within the business context. This is achieved through reflection on one’s own actions and learning in applying effective business practices.
ASSIGNMENT4 INTRODUCTIONOF
BY-LAWAPPLICATIONANDPREREQUISTESFOR BUILDINGPLANSUBMISSION
Assignment 4 allows students to apply the knowledge gained in Project 1 to their individual projects in AIAD II. Each regulatory, legislative and technical provision must be illustrated in an informative report presentation with dimensions, drawings (including isometrics), and materials where necessary. Students will be assessed based on their ability to explain and apply knowledge and understanding to their Final AIAD II Project.
This exercise serves as a working paper for AIAD II. Students’ design shall not change or be influenced by the laws due to both modules’ time constrain factor, instead, it acts as an overall guideline to address the next forthcoming steps before finalizing the building plans. Students are require to identify noncompliance by marking an (x) and describing the next course of action for design rectification/ This rigorous process is essential to ensure compliance with the law before the drawings can be submitted to the Local Authority.

ASSIGNMENT4 CONDLUSIONOF
BY-LAWAPPLICATIONANDPREREQUISTESFOR BUILDINGPLANSUBMISSION
In our final assignment on ‘ By-Law Application and Prerequisite for Building Plan Submission, we were encourage to utilize our final year project from AIAD II and crosscheck our design to ensure compliance with applicable by-laws and requirements. Specifically, I focused on my design for people to have basic life skill that is based in Zhongshan Kampung Attap, Kuala Lumpur.
I had mixed feelings as I examined my design are somehow in the middle of meeting the requirements and adhered to the by-laws. But then, it allows me to gain deeper understanding of the importance of various factors, such as purpose group classification, the meaning of escape for fire safety and space for disabled users.
The assignment was particularly relatable since it involved assessing my design. This familiarity encourage me to identify areas for improvement and navigate the process more effectively. By evaluating my design against by-laws, I am more aware of the specific regulations and requirements that are crucial for ensuring the safety and functionality of the workshops.
Overall, this assignment lead me with a valuable opportunity to apply the knowledge of by-laws and prerequisites for building plan submission to my design. It allow me to assess my compliance, gain more understanding of the importance of various factors and identify area for further improvement.

REFLECTION
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Ms. Ar. Yasmin Rahman for her excellent instruction in the Professional Practice module. The insights and experiences I've gained have significantly contributed to my growth as an aspiring professional in interior design, impacting both my personal development and my design work.
Although I had learned some of the UBBL during my time in Architecture School, I only understood it theoretically. This module has truly opened my eyes, allowing me to fully grasp how and when to apply these regulations in my designs.
Discovering the Formation of IDCP and the Legislative and Regulative Dimensions of Interior Design has been particularly enlightening, as these concepts were entirely new to me. I am also grateful for the online forums that Ms. Yasmin encouraged us to participate in. These forums fostered a sense of community, enabling us to share our thoughts, information, and knowledge. Additionally, during Professional Development Week, we gained invaluable insights from industry veterans, or 'OGs', on how to transition from student life to professional employment.
