The first FOBE Postgraduate Colloquium, held on 18 April 2026, marked a meaningful milestone for the Faculty of Built Environment.

Although the number of participating students was not large, the colloquium was a fruitful and encouraging start. Conducted in a hybrid format, the event enabled students from the MBE Master’s programme and TBE PhD programme to present their research both physically and online.

The colloquium served as a valuable platform for students, supervisors, academic staff, and postgraduate candidates to exchange ideas, share research progress, and engage in constructive academic discussion. It also helped strengthen peer support, academic collaboration, and research culture within the faculty.

A key highlight of the event was a sharing session by an invited MBA alumnus, who reflected on his postgraduate journey from enrolment to completion, offering practical insights and motivation to current students.

As the first initiative of its kind in the faculty, the colloquium was well-received and has set a strong foundation for future postgraduate academic engagements at FOBE.

A Glimpse into PERCEPT 2026: The Hybrid Horizons Symposium
On April 10, 2026, the TAR UMT Arena (Auditorium, Level 4) became a hub of intellectual exchange for the Architectural Design Symposium 2026, titled "PERCEPT 2026: The Hybrid Horizons." This event brought together leading minds in the field to explore the evolving landscape of architecture in an increasingly digitized and environmentally conscious world.
The symposium wasn't just a series of lectures; it was an interactive platform. Students and faculty from TAR UMT engaged in lively panel discussions and Q&A sessions. The hall was filled with future architects gaining insights into the "mystical forces" that shape regional design—from the tip of Asia to the beginning of Australasia.

As the session concluded with a massive group photo in the auditorium, it was clear that PERCEPT 2026 succeeded in its mission: pushing the boundaries of perception and preparing participants for the hybrid horizons of tomorrow's architecture.
