PAM DESIGN FORUM - Sustainable Architecture

• Apr 2010 - 2010

Environmental consciousness has always been a driver in WOHA works since practice in 1995. Francis Goh will be presenting a series of WOHA projects that embodies the firm’s design philosophy and reflects WOHA’s ongoing journey in sustainable architecture while retaining valuable lessons of building in the tropics. Similar yet architectural distinct ideas in sustainability will be demonstrated in a different building scales from residential houses, high-rise apartments, commercial projects to hotel resorts. WOHA will share the design methodology and technology & material involves in either both urban or rural context, to deliver its characteristically green and yet enhance its meaningful architectural ideas behind. While design inspirations are not wholely initiated from sustainable designs but from the client requirements, site studies, programme characteristics and other contextual factors, the marriage of the green features with the uniqueness of architectural design in WOHA works is distinctly original and speaks of architects’ responsibility to create diverse, innovative and exciting environments. Other invited speakers were Professor Dr. Roger Fay, head of the school of Architecture & Design at University of Tasmania, Australia. Kevin Mark Low - Principal of Small Projects, Kuala Lumpur & Professor Dr. Singh Intrachooto, Head of the Building Innovation & Technology Program in Kasetsart University, Bangkok. Show less
