Ken Yeang (Malaysia)

Kenneth Yeang (1948, Penang, Malaysia) conceived the ‘green skyscraper’. In his architecture he uses avant-garde technology in order to build an artificial environment within which he provides natural lighting and air circulation and in which he collects rainwater and generates solar energy. His buildings are to a large extent self-sufficient and thus present a new solution to modern-day ecological problems.
