Abstract. This article is a study on biomimicry of palm tree towards a building form. It is to find a suitable form and pattern that can be applied to building shell to ease building maintenance operation beside to enhance the aesthetic value of a building architecture. The research has been carried out by observation and modeling on some various species of palm tree's patterns and forms. The result expectation can be found at the end of this research by producing the best pattern of palm tree that can be adapted to building envelop as the whole form of a building.

-Facilities management (FM) has a significant growth since last two decades as a new and exciting profession that embraces many essential parts of the built environment. Emphasis on early involvement of FM in the design stage to deliver of an efficient building; which is easy and cost-effective to maintain for the occupants. Present days, maintainability turn into foremost concern and unprecedented challenges for the project team as building projects are getting much more complex and difficult. However, lack of considering FM at early design phase has become a potential issue to increase the operation and maintenance budget, premature aging and dilapidation. Thus, this paper explores the consideration of direct involvement of FM knowledge and experience in early design is found useful for the improvement of cost effectiveness in long term perspective, and subsequently the aim of this paper to investigate the impact of design issues towards easily-maintainable building projects at post-occupancy stage and providing the actual avenues to integrate FM in design development process. Therefore, a critical analysis of the literature has been carried out to identify the potential errors of design at post occupancy stage. The paper critically analyses the current approach of building design; and explore the contributions of FM knowledge during the design phase. Based on the study of literature, it has been established that majority of the maintenance issues at using stage is design originated problems; mainly architectural, structural, mechanical, HVAC, and plumbing and sanitary. The involvement of the FM knowledge and experience at design process will contribute to reduce major repairs and alterations in the lifespan of the building.Keyword -Facilities Management, Cost Parameters, Effectiveness, Design Process I. INTRODUCTION A holistic view of the topic facilities management (FM) has gradually developed as a new career over the past 15-20 years everywhere in the global and evolved into construction discipline since late 1980s [1]. It seems at reaching higher facility that is straightforward to run, maintain and manage. This new topic attempt to represent an elevated attention of the significance of the building operation and maintenance. This is avital part inside FM however the scope has emerged as broader and includes use of buildings in both the short and long term. FM is observed on the pre-operations level to peer how early involvement can create effective operations, reduce maintenance cost, end customers pleasure whilst also presenting higher facility that is good-looking and end user friendly. "FM at the design stage will add value to the facility by ensuring less "rework", emphasising value for money, efficient control of the team work". As a result, FM decisions in the early design stages of building projects are very important for enjoying long life better services in cost effective way. Numerous studies have attempted to explain that the early involvement of FM all through the design development a...

Facilities management is taking centre stage in the discourse of academic institutions because of its relevance to facilitating learning, teaching and conducting research. University buildings are an important part of these facilities and considerable resources are committed to their design, construction and maintenance. This article is based on the premise that if there is information on the criteria that infl uence the maintenance of university buildings, the characteristics of defects in university buildings and the criteria within the users ' value system, the maintenance and management of the university buildings will be initiated and implemented more effectively and effi ciently compared with how it is currently executed. The main aim of the present research, however, is to determine the kind and nature of defects in university buildings in Malaysia. The article reviews the related literature and presents the outcome of a questionnaire survey. The questionnaires were administered to 50 university maintenance organisations. With a 66 per cent response rate, the fi ndings suggest that some defects require maintenance more urgently than others. On this basis it is concluded that resources should be directed to the more urgent areas whereas less urgent ones can be included in the next planned maintenance programme. The research found that lift failure, faulty electrical systems and roof damage were defects that respondents considered highly critical and that required urgent maintenance intervention.
