Alumni 1998 - 2005

 

1998-1999 JASON ANG KWANG LIN

Jason Ang, a Singaporean that has practiced architecture, urban design and master planning for the past 25 years. The last 20 years of his practice was in the People’s Republic of China with majority of the projects being large scale architecture, urban planning and design of cities. His private practice has since completed more than 150 projects that spanned an area of more than 1000km2.

Interested in the idea of a vibrant, sustainable and diverse city, Jason has embarked in the study and method of creating interactive places since his university days. He has developed a land value indexing system and has applied, together with the interactive place methodology, to his architecture, urban design and planning projects. In today’s high-speed techno-driven world, citizenry disconnecting with nature and socio-reality is inextricable. Jason hopes that his vision for public places being interactive and contextual niches of choice and activities can recoup the lost interest we have in many of our fragmented and gentrified cities; in short, every citizen should have a choice and place in the city. More ...

2000 Ang Kian Nam

I founded and have been working in AKN Achitects since October 1998. Overall, I have experiences in professional services pertaining to Architecture, Planning, Urban Design and in issues pertaining to Sustainability. Of special interest to me is cycling and anything related to it. I have been cycling as a way of life since when I was a kid. I cycled to school, run errands, do grocery runs, transporting stuff and even change house with the help of bikes. For a period, I volunteered in LTA's events for Active Mobility for ideas and for feedbacks; and participated in conferences about cycling in Singapore. As a niche consultancy, I have helped to plan and design cycling infrastructure in Singapore; thereby also contribute to resolving some Sustainability issues. I have also been called in to resolve issues pertaining to existing cycling infrastructure.

Singapore is a highly urbanised society. I hope to continue to contribute to its Sustainability issues through cycling.
