Ken Yeang-Menara Mesiniaga

The Menara Mesiniaga building is the seminal work of Ken Yeang whose Bioclimatic Architecture is part of the new wave of sustainable architecture.Yeang wrote of his philosophy, "In practice, architectural design is a craft, and a variable one at that. Post modernism has successfully shown up the volatile nature of this craft by its unrestrained use of architectural symbolisms, its frivolous multiplication of the surface area of the built envelope, its prodigious use of unnecessary building materials, its indifference to engineering economy, its extravagant use of land, and its irrational subservience to whim and history instead of the allocation and restriction of excessive consumption of energy resources."
Yeang continues to produce pioneering work executing theses design principles.
