The PRINCIPAL Ar. Meor Wazir Zul'Aidin B. Arch (Miami), APAM

He has been practicing for close to two decades, with more than five years in the USA, after receiving

invitations and offers from practicing Faculty who recognized his talents while he was still pursuing his

degree at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida. He was also invited to join the Academic

Faculty of the School of Architecture, University of Miami, specializing in 3D spatial designs and

computerization and ‘New Urbanism’ Town Planning principles, tutoring the 3rd and 4th Year Students.

During his third year (1987), he co-formed a successful venture named “Image Network” with masters-

degree graduates to explore the application of computers technology in Architectural design and

presentation. This venture was well published by Progressive Architecture, a prestigious architectural

publications for cutting edge technologies and design.

During his 4th year, he was awarded the privilege to attend the renowned Architectural Association of

London, UK. There, he attended the studio conducted by OMA (inter7). This studio was frequently

attended by architectural luminaries such as Peter Cook (archigram), Zaha Hadid, the late Alvin Boyarsky,

Shin Takamatsu (leading Japanese Architect) and many other visiting critics, to offer their insight during

the students’ grueling final term.

He returned to the USA to finish his final year with the late Italian Architect Also Rossi, to complete his

commission to design the New Extension for the School of Architecture, University of Miami; a project

fondly termed as ‘Ziff Tower’ which floats in the middle of the lake adjacent to the existing school

buildings.

He continued his working association with the office of Duany Plater-Zyberk & Associates, developing the

Urban & Architectural Codes for new Townships. These sets of codes and rules later became the founding

principles for the ‘New Urbanism’ movement, now sweeping the USA. These codes were published in the

publication, ‘Town-making Principles: the Town of Seaside’.

Since his return to Malaysia, He had worked with some of the most established and dynamic architectural

practices, namely Arkitek MAA SB and aQidea Architect, renowned for several landmark buildings in the

country such as KLIA, International Offshore Financial Center, Dayabumi Complex, LTAT Building, Prime

Minister’s office and Palace of Justice in Putrajaya.

He has been unanimously elected to become the Council Member for the Pertubuhan Akitek Malaysia

(PAM) for 3 consecutive years since 2004 and is actively promoting and improving the Image of the

Architect in Malaysia through various initiatives. During this time, He also formed a new Initiative Called
