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

“UBBL 1984 UBBL guidelines on fire safety in buildings.”
Abstract:
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?
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. Discuss.

ASSIGNMENT 3
Future Practices (Formation of Design Practice)
This assignment sets the scenario for students to to re-imagine and reconceptualize 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 of their own vision and mission in forming their own design company within the business context. This is achieved through reflection of one’s own action and learning in applying effective business practices.

ASSIGNMENT 4
By-Law Application and Prerequisites for Building Plan Submission
This assignment allows students to apply their knowledge gained in Project 1 into their individual projects in AIAD2. Each regulatory, legislative, and technical provision must be illustrated into 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 AIAD2 Project.
This exercise serves as a working paper for AIAD. Students’ design shall not change or be influenced by the laws due to both module’s time constrain factor, instead, it acts as an overall guideline to address the next forthcoming steps before finalizing the building plans. Thus, students are asked to identify non-compliance 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.

REFLECTION
To conclude this module, I found the learning process to be challenging and sometimes slow, particularly when trying to understand all the laws and requirements. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire learning experience, whether through group projects or individual assignments, as theywerebothinterestingandenjoyable.
Thismodulesignificantlyenhancedmyunderstandingofvariouslegalaspects,improvedmytechnical skills, instilled a strong sense of professional ethics and entrepreneurial spirit. I now feel wellprepared equipped to navigate the dynamic landscape of the design industry, armed with both knowledgeandaclearsenseofpurpose.
