Reviewers / Advisers


The reviewers cum Advisers assist in two areas. The key area is the eBook and the secondary is this website. For eBook, they assist in reviewing, selecting, moderating, and facilitating the gathering of the eBook content. For the blog site, they assist in moderating the articles and content after they are published by their respective article authors / co-authors. For blog sites, immediacy, and speed is the essence, hence we adopt a published and moderate approach, as amendment and adjustment can be done on the fly. However, an eBook is of a different nature, it requires careful attention, as it captures a moment in time that needs curating. This blog site is casual and flows with the thoughts of the contributors.

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.
