The gold award had a RM5000 cash prize plus all expenses paid participation in an international workshop in Jogjakarta, where he will compete with winners from other Asian countries for the Platinum award. Last year our student won the platinum award as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">David Nee also won the gold award for best use of colour\/paint amounting to RM1000 and best Social Sustainable design, which is quite an achievement for a 2nd year student.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">With David Nee\u2019s win, UTM was awarded the Gold Award for Best University\/college amounting to RM1000, and PM Dr Abdul Halim Hussein was given the Gold Award for Best Mentor with a prize of RM1000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">David Nee is also given the opportunity to be an intern at IJM Land which is a co sponsor with Nippon Paint for the competition, for six months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">For the Emerging Professional Architecture Award, two of UTM alumni were also short listed including two from the part time SPACE program although they did not win any major prize.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">The faculty plans to urge more of our alumni to join in future.
