Ken Yeang

Ken Yeang is a Malaysian architect who specialises in 'green' skyscrapers. The two words do not sit comfortably together, but I have been informed that high-rise, higly compacted, urban living is the way forward if we want to cut carbon.



I am not convinced that environmentally-friendly architecture has to take on such a purposely futuristic form, but the his designs reveal a positively ideological thought process.

Yeang is also the author of
Ecodesign: A Manual for Ecological Design
.

Online, read Jetson Green for the latest on green building.
