Synopsis :
 
An architect’s flair and creativity in design should not be constrained by statutory rules and regulations, instead, knowledge of the principles of safe design will allow architects to embrace an holistic approach in our design methodology. Since the last update to the UBBL in 2012, we have witnessed the tragic Sultanah Aminah Hospital Johor fire in 2016 and the horrific Grenfell Tower London fire in 2017. Much lessons have been learnt from these two fires. JBPM (Bomba) have taken the lead in revising and updating the fire safety prescriptions in the UBBL resulting in the gazette of the Uniform Building By-Laws 2021. In this seminar, we will re-visit the basic principles of designing for fire safety and elaborate in detail the updated prescriptions of the Uniform Building By-Laws 2021.
