ABSTRACT

In this 2-part webinar, WOHA co-Founding Director Wong Mun Summ will give an insight into the practice’s “Systems Approach”, in which every project is viewed as part of a larger social, environmental and economic system. WOHA’s buildings are designed as active and productive systems that are integrated into their social, ecological and urban context. With each project, the practice explores how it can optimise systems to create spaces that foster community, enable the stewardship of nature, generate biophilic beauty and versatility, activate ecosystem services and build resilience.
