      Procuring Innovative Architecture
    • 2002

      Zu einer Zeit, in der viele meinen, die Architektur mit sämtlichen Möglichkeiten des technischen Fortschritts vollstopfen zu müssen, ist es sehr lehrreich, die Arbeit einer Firma zu studieren, die den Komfort für den Benutzer wieder in den Vordergrund stellt und diesen noch verbessert. Das Büro von Hamzah und Yeang weckte internationales Interesse für die Architektur Südostasiens auf eine ganz einzigartige Weise. Die Kreativität der Designer hält sich nicht an gängige Manifeste und vermeidet die Festlegung auf regional und politisch bedingte Formensprache. Einzig die Nutzerfreundlichkeit der Gebäude steht im Vordergrund. Das Buch ist in englischer Sprache.
