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 place 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.
