The Roots of Industrialization

As looking thorough to my research, I was told to seek the roots of why ID industrialization is happening in Malaysia.
After weeks of observation, analysis and articles reading, findings are such:

  1. The technology and materials available in Malaysia is one of the constriction for ID creativity in Malaysia. The quest for extraordinary enquiries results in extra costing, reluctant of contractors and worries of client.
  2. Occurrence of trends such as GBI also holds back designer's creativity, people tend to preach the fame and status among the rest, where gaining the certificates is a big step towards succession. The rules and regulation to gain it had indirectly created a limitation.
  3. Work ethics is also another bolded issues in Malaysian industries. Its often good to have someone to lead the group, however, its terrible when the leaders do not listen or disagree with the others. Just like architects has all says for construction where the rest listens. In this case, other ideas and opinion are prohibitions.
  4. Construction procedures is also another cause of creativity limitation. Design is also about unity, when designer comes after architect, all ID can do is only to compliment the architect's output. In fact, they should come at same path.
  5. Market niche can also be tricky at time, the fixed mindset for expected outcome from client tremendously affect the end-results and lost in originality. of course, on good hands, stylization had made design communication and execution easier between designers and clients.
  6. Worse in case, when all the above are practiced and merged into a norm. Interior designer are automatically a consultant rather than an spatial artist.
