Rene Tan, who describes himself as an 'accidental architect', received his BA (double-majoring in architecture and music) from Yale and his MArch from Princeton.
Today as Director at RT+Q (a firm he co-founded in 2003 with partner TK Quek), Rene works on projects of various types, scale and sizes—locally and internationally. He was 'Designer of the Year' laureate of the 2016 President's Design Awards, Singapore--an honour he shares with everyone at RT+Q.
To maintain work-life balance, Rene searches (with his wife Woei Woei and daughter Lara) for the next ski slope to negotiate, and (for the past 35 years) has been struggling to prevent the complete demise of his skill at the piano.
