Sani worked in the Department of Architecture, the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, one of the oldest universities in Malaysia. He taught there for three years, with particular emphasis on design studio, and subjects like visualisation, drawing and draughting; from freehand sketching to CAD utilisation (two and three dimensional data). His particular study is the development of technology and construction, and he also undertook research on BIM (Building Information Modeling) to find its feasibility as compared to the actual design, contractual and constructional process. Other studies included sustainable design and urban design in the equatorial context. Sani returned to Edinburgh in 2008 to commence a PhD.

Sani and I had a long discussion about his current research on digital fabrication in architecture, his experiences with architectural modeling techniques, including 3d printing, laser cutting and CNC printing, cognition, computer aided manufacturing, human computer interation and integrated cad/cam systems. It was extremely interesting talking about why we model in architecture and what it provides us as designers. From older methods right up until the cutting edge technology used by architects such as Greg Lynn and Lisa Iwamoto its all in there.
