VIRTUAL LIBRARY MUSEUM PAGES OF UPM - EDITORIAL
On 19th April 2011, the Editorial Board of VMLP UPM welcomes the inclusion of Sustainable Tropical Environmental Design Exhibition 2010 (STEdex’10) into the VLMP UPM's database. STEdex’10 is curated by Nasir Baharuddin. It has notably brought together selected artefacts from student-faculty design collaborations conducted at the Faculty of Design and Architecture to a higher level.

In maintaining the sustainable tropical environmental design theme of the Faculty of Design and Architecture, STEdex’10 showcases an exciting collection of artefacts contributed by all three departments at the faculty: Landscape Architecture, Architecture and Industrial Design. VLMP UPM congratulates the students and faculty members whose artefacts will become part of the permanent collection at the faculty representing high level of design aspirations — culture, environment and social integration — in their attempts to fulfil the sustainable development vision and mission of year 2010.

A special acknowledgement is given to the Department of Industrial Design for including the process to obtain the Industrial Design registration for some of its artefacts prior to STEdex’10. VLMP UPM also notes a special chapter highlighting three winners at national and international competitions and exhibitions.

Congratulations to the faculty's Dean;
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Osman Mohd. Tahir, for enabling the organisation of the STEdex’10 at the newly completed Galeri Serdang of Universiti Putra Malaysia located at the Faculty of Design and Architecture.
