Malaysian-born Ken Yeang dare act local in a global world, considering architecture basically a shelter which has to contend with climate as a given immutable parameter. And with some 6 billion human being living in the Tropics, buildings has to be more energy efficient if the planet is going to survive. But instead of creating low-tec sustainable architecture Ken Yeang and his partner Tengku Robert Hamzah has opted for high-tec solutions sporting green skyscrapers. Among his recent works is the New National Library in Singapore, the Mewah Oil Hq, and the Malaysia Design Innovation Centre in Cyberjaya.   UP Published in Azur, 2006 © 2006 Calimero
