Eco Architect Ken Yeang


Ken Yeang is an extremely innovative architect who creates mostly skyscrapers with Bioclimatic design. Bioclimatic design is designing a building with hypersensitivity to local conditions in order to minimize the impact and energy usage. It also incorporates the idea of strengthening the local environment around it, rather than detracting from it.


"If the bioclimatic skyscraper's architecture is to be justified as a new genre of building type, it must transcend being a clever reorganization of external building forms and superficial changes to facades. Essentially, the skyscraper's design must create a new and significant form of internal life for its inhabitant that has not existed before in other genres of the same type."
