Ken Yeang: pioneer of low energy buildings

Ken Yeang is the world’s leading architect in ecological design and passive low energy design and his ‘bioclimatic’ towers have had an impact around the world, fusing high-tech and organic principles.

Ken is orginally from Malaysia but now works for Llewelyn Davies Yeang in London and was touted by The Guardian newspaper '50 people who could save the planet' (January 2005).

His thinking infuses peer group discussions on building form and disposition of the public realm through the objectives of sustainability.

Dr. Yeang was an early pioneer of low energy buildings and an ecological approach to sustainable design- developed through environmental integration, by enhancing biodiversity and working to emulate the systems of nature (Bioclimatic).
