Ken Yeang (born 1948) is a Malaysian architect, ecologist and author known for his signature ecoarchitecture and ecomasterplans. Yeang is an early pioneer of ecology-based green design and masterplanning, carrying out design and research in this field since 1971. He was named by the Guardian as "one of the 50 people who could save the planet". Yeang's operating headquarters for his company Hamzah and Yeang is in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with other offices in London as Ken Yeang Design International and Beijing (China) as North Hamzah Yeang Architectural and Engineering Company. ==Early life and education== Born in 1948 in Penang, Malaysia, Yeang grew up in a tropical Modernist house designed by Iversen, van Sitteren & Partners.〔''Rethinking the Skyscraper'', Introduction: A European Upbringing, pp. 7–12〕 He attended Penang Free School. In 1961, Yeang attended Cheltenham College, a British public school in Gloucestershire.〔 He obtained his qualifications in architecture from the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London (AA). In 1969, he did an internship at the Singapore architect practice S.T.S. Leong, before returning to the AA to complete his diploma〔 under Peter Cook (1972). Yeang worked briefly at Louis de Soisson Partnership and as a student did freelance illustrations and graphic design work for the AD and AAQ magazines and for the AA. He did his post-graduate at Cambridge University Department of Architecture. His doctoral dissertation, "A Theoretical Framework for Incorporating Ecological Considerations in the Design and Planning of the Built Environment" earned him a PhD in ecological design and planning. It is published as ‘Designing With Nature’ (McGraw-Hill, 1995)〔 and in Spanish as 'Proyectar Con La Naturaleza’ (Gustavo Gili, SA, 1999). He received an honorary Litt.D. from Sheffield University (2004), and an honorary PhD from the University of Malaya (2013). Yeang took ecology courses at the Department of Environmental Biology at Cambridge University and attended (partially) the ecological land use planning course at the University of Pennsylvania, Department of Landscape Architecture under Ian McHarg. He became a member of the British Ecological Society. These studies provided the basis for Yeang’s doctorate and to later develop his biodiversity approach to ecological architecture and masterplanning. He is registered as a professional architect with the ARB (Architects Registration Board) (UK), the RIBA (Royal Institute of Architects) (UK), PAM (Pertubuhan Arkitek Malaysia), and, as of 1972, the SIA (Singapore Institute of Architects). He is a Fellow of the SIA, an Honorary Fellow of the AIA (American institute of Architects) and Honorary Fellow of the RSIA (Royal Scottish Institute of Architects). Yeang attended short courses in business management at the Malaysian Institute of Management, the Singapore Institute of Management and at Harvard Business School. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ken Yeang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
