			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Apa yang bakal anda baca ini ialah sebuah terjemahan(email yang saya terima dari seorang kawan dari Arab Saudi) dari Bahasa Arab ke dalam Bahasa Melayu dan saya kongsi bersama anda semua&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Penghormatanku kepada lelaki agung, Adolf Hitler, semoga ada sepertinya di zaman ini&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div style="clear: none; line-height: 14px; text-align: center; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"><a style="cursor: pointer; color: #3b5998; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1267087&amp;op=1&amp;view=all&amp;subj=411669814626&amp;aid=-1&amp;auser=0&amp;oid=411669814626&amp;id=1081327063"><img class="aligncenter" style="display: block; width: 460px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs061.ash2/36409_1438335553333_1081327063_1267087_5851615_n.jpg" alt="" width="474" height="348" /></a></div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-201"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Aku berbual dengan seorang ahli keluarga yang sedang menamatkan tesis PhD beliau dan aku amat terperanjat apabila beliau nyatakan tesis beliau berkaitan Adolf Hitler, pemimpin Nazi. Maka aku katakan &#8220;Takkan dah habis semua tokoh Islam di dunia ini sampai kamu memilih si bodoh ini dijadikan tajuk?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Beliau ketawa lalu bertanya apa yang aku ketahui tentang Hitler.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Aku lalu menjawab bahawa Hitler seorang pembunuh yang membunuh secara berleluasa dan meletakkan German mengatasi segala-galanya&#8230;lalu dia bertanya dari mana sumber aku. Aku menjawab sumberku dari TV pastinya.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Lalu dia berkata : &#8221; Baiklah, pihak British telah melakukan lebih dahsyat dari itu&#8230;pihak Jepun semasa zaman Emperor mereka juga sama&#8230;tapi kenapa dunia hanya menghukum Hitler dan meletakkan kesalahan malahan memburukkan nama Nazi seolah-olah Nazi masih wujud hari ini sedangkan mereka melupakan kesalahan pihak British kepada Scotland, pihak Jepun kepada dunia dan pihak Afrika Selatan kepada kaum kulit hitam mereka?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Aku lantas meminta jawapan dari beliau. Beliau menyambung : &#8220;Ada dua sebab -</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">1. Prinsip Hitler berkaitan Yahudi, Zionisme dan penubuhan negara Israel. Hitler telah melancarkan Holocaust untuk menghapuskan Yahudi kerana beranggapan Yahudi akan menjahanamkan dunia pada suatu hari nanti.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">2. Prinsip Hitler berkaitan Islam. Hitler telah belajar sejarah kerajaan terdahulu dan umat yang lampau, dan beliau telah menyatakan bahawa ada tiga tamadun yang terkuat, iaitu Parsi, Rome dan Arab. Ketiga-tiga tamadun ini telah menguasai dunia satu ketika dulu dan Parsi serta Rome telah mengembangkan tamadun mereka hingga hari ini, manakala Arab pula lebih kepada persengketaan sesama mereka sahaja. Beliau melihat ini sebagai satu masalah kerana Arab akan merosakkan Tamadun Islam yang beliau telah lihat begitu hebat satu ketika dulu.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Atas rasa kagum beliau pada Tamadun Islam, beliau telah mencetak risalah berkaitan Islam dan diedarkan kepada tentera Nazi semasa perang, walaupun kepada tentera yang bukan Islam.</p>

</div>
<p style="text-align: center;">Beliau juga telah meberi peluang kepada tentera German yang beragama Islam untuk menunaikan solat ketika masuk waktu di mana jua&#8230;bahkan tentera German pernah bersolat di dataran Berlin dan Hitler ketika itu mennggu sehingga mereka tamat solat jemaah untuk menyampaikan ucapan beliau&#8230;</p>

<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Askar Nazi bersolat</dd>

</div>
<p style="text-align: center;">Hitler juga sering bertemu dengan para Ulamak dan meminta pendapat mereka serta belajar dari mereka tentang agama dan kisah para sahabat dalam mentadbir&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Beliau juga meminta para Sheikh untuk mendampingi tentera beliau bagi mendoakan mereka yang bukan Islam dan memberi semangat kepada yang beragama Islam untuk membunuh Yahudi&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Semua maklumat ini ialah hasil kajian sejarah yang dilakukan oleh saudara aku untuk tesis PhD beliau dan beliau meminta aku tidak menokok tambah apa-apa supaya tidak menyusahkan beliau untuk membentangkannya nanti. Beliau tidak mahu aku campurkan bahan dari internet kerana aku bukan pakar bidang sejarah. Tetapi gambar-gambar yang ada di sini sudah lama tersebar dan semua orang boleh melihatnya di internet.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Aku juga sedaya upaya mencari maklumat tambahan di internet dan berjumpa beberapa perkara :</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">1: Pengaruh Al-Quran di dalam ucapan Hitler.<br />
Ketika tentera Nazi tiba di Moscow, Hitler berhajat menyampaikan ucapan. Dia memerintahkan penasihat-penasihatnya untuk mencari kata-kata pembukaan yang hebat tak kira dari kitab agama, kata-kata ahli falsafah ataupun dari bait syair. Seorang sasterawan Iraq yang bermastautin di German mencadangkan ayat Al-Quran :</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">(?????? ?????? ????? ?????) bermaksud : Telah hampir Hari Kiamat dan bulan akan terbelah&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Hitler berasa kagum dengan ayat ini dan menggunakannya sebagai kalam pembukaan dan isi kandungan ucapan beliau. Memang para ahli tafsir menghuraikan bahawa ayat tersebut bermaksud kehebatan, kekuatan dan memberi maksud yang mendalam.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Perkara ini dinyatakan oleh Hitler di dalam buku beliau Mein Kampf yang ditulis di dalam penjara bahawa banyak aspek tindakan beliau berdasarkan ayat Al-Quran, khususnya yang berkaitan tindakan beliau ke atas Yahudi&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">2. Hitler bersumpah dengan nama Allah yang Maha Besar</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Hitler telah memasukkan sumpah dengan nama Allah yang Maha Besar di dalam ikrar ketua tenteranya yang akan tamat belajar di akademi tentera German.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8221; Aku bersumpah dengan nama Allah (Tuhan) yang Maha Besar dan ini ialah sumpah suci ku,bahawa aku akan mentaati semua perintah ketua tentera German dan pemimpinnya Adolf Hitler, pemimpin bersenjata tertinggi, bahawa aku akan sentiasa bersedia untuk berkorban dengan nyawaku pada bila-bila waktu demi pemimpin ku&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">3. Hitler telah enggan meminum beer (arak) pada ketika beliau gementar semasa keadaan German yang agak goyah dan bermasalah. Ketika itu para doktor mencadangkan beliau minum beer sebagai ubat dan beliau enggan, sambil mangatakan &#8221; Bagaimana anda ingin suruh seseorang itu minum arak untuk tujuan perubatan sedangkan beliau tidak pernah seumur hidupnya menyentuh arak?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Ya, Hitler tidak pernah menjamah arak sepanjang hayat beliau&#8230;minuman kebiasaan beliau ialah teh menggunakan uncang khas&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Bukanlah tujuan penulisan ini untuk membela apa yang dilakukan oleh Hitler, tetapi ianya bertujuan untuk menyingkap apa yang disembunyikan oleh pihak Barat. Semoga kita semua beroleh manfaat.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">-Terima Kasih-</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">UiTM announced about five to six weeks of semester break. But to me its full of program, activities and chores to be done. At the beginning of semester break (after 2 weeks review) i got myself involved with NEXSTEC (Nexus of Sciene and Technology, UiTM) design challenge for almost 2 weeks, The Re-Development of waterfront at Tasik Biru Kundang. This competition makes me involved with other field such as civil engineer, mechanical, planners, landscape architects and many more. We learn to tackle issues from different perspectives. This competition is on hold and pending for final presentation on first and second of July.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">

<p style="text-align: center;">*<br />
After the NEXSTEC competition, i involved with Archustic, XXII-Architectural Student Workshop 2010 at UKM, Bangi collaborated with Taylors and Twintech College. Had a great day there with all the participants specially &#8220;anak metal&#8221;. UiTM grabs peoples attention with cheers and busking-metal style. We also won a lot of prizes there, from design to multimedia and performances too, to anak metal, your hardships are worth a try. The memories of Archustic workshop left behind with lots of sweet memories.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">

<p style="text-align: center;">*</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-153 alignright" title="parametric_rhino" src="http://blog.rafiealam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/p_rhino_flowalongsurface.jpg" alt="parametric_rhino" width="350" height="210" />This semester i was introduced to the terms of <em>parametric design</em>. At a glance my brain was flooded by loads of question mostly are WHAT, WHY, HOW??? After doing some research and observation here i&#8217;d like to share with everyone what did i understand about this topic.</p>
<p>Based on <a href="nick@chirp.net">Nick Easton</a>&#8217;s (not an architect) writings at Design Community Architecture Discussion <a href="http://www.designcommunity.com" target="_blank">Website</a>, he explains that <em>&#8220;&#8230;software utilizes a design feature called parametrics,<span id="more-147"></span> a method of linking dimensions and variables to geometry in such a way that when the values change, the part changes as well.&#8221;</em> eg: When designing a column, we will consider about the loadings and sizes. What will happen if we need to change or redesign certain area? This means you will have to re-calculate it back again. In parametric design all the possibilities are generated by the CAD software.</p>
<p>In the same website <a href="garyrea@cox.net">Gary R</a> says that parametric design is the latest development in CAD software, an it refers to the inclusion of <strong>parametric data embedded</strong> within 3D objects (i.e; parameters, such as heights, depth, thickness, weight and even attributes such as model numbers and materials). From all those elements Gary says that <em>&#8220;&#8230;.a 2D floor plan is drawn, and the 2D elevations, sections, details, schedules, and 3D model and rendering are all automatically generated from the floor plan as it is created, in real time. It can be done either direction in some other programs.&#8221;</em> From his writings i believe he is talking more on the application of design in BIM (Building Information Modeling) that has been used by ArchiCAD, Auto-desk REVIT and so forth. There are various software in the market nowadays that uses the parametric design other than the one i&#8217;ve mentioned earlier are Rhino, FormZ, Blender and 3D Studio MAX. With some plugins installed you will understand the method of parametric design.</p>
<p>How about presentation? how are we going to produce  a representation of parametric design?  Here are some examples i&#8217;ve found on the net and i believe there is better example than this. Hope u guys can share it here&#8230;</p>

<p>Been busy with fisrt year programme with this ant that&#8230;nothing much to share at the moment but the best thing is that we are as the Urban Design Research Lab members are working on the establishment of the Urban Deign Guideline for Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. However this is just a case study and might not be a reality. All the lecturers are quite supportive and thats the way i like it. The teaching methodology is still the same but with a contemporary approach.</p>
<p>Hope to share with u more&#8230;</p>
<p>thats all for today~</p>
