    Ken Yeang is a Malaysian architect known for his ecological architecture and sustainable design. He pioneered an ecology-based approach to architecture in 1971. Some key aspects of his biointegrated design approach include designing buildings to function as live ecosystems, starting design from infrastructure, and seamlessly integrating nature, water systems, human activities, and the built environment. His designs aim to emulate natural ecosystems by providing key services like oxygen production, water purification, and nutrient cycling without human intervention. Buildings are designed to be responsive to climate and optimize natural ventilation, lighting, and thermal performance through features like core placement, light shafts, adjustable shading devices, and wind-catching wing walls.

    Ken Yeang is an architect, ecologist, planner and author from Malaysia, best known
    for his ecological architecture and ecomaster plans that have a distinctive green aesthetic.
    He pioneered an ecology-based architecture (since 1971), working on the theory and
    practice of sustainable design. ​The Guardian​ newspaper (2008) named him "one of the 50
    people who could save the planet".Yeang's headquarters is in ​Kuala Lumpur​ (Malaysia) as
    Hamzah & Yeang, with offices in ​London​ (UK) as Llewelyn Davies Ken Yeang Ltd. and
    Beijing​ (China) as North Hamzah Yeang Architectural and Engineering Company.

    - Everything depends on effective biointegration


    - Designing building systems to be live ecosystems as constructed ecosystem
    - Designing must start at the state of infrastructure and not incremental built systems.
    Meaning it should start from the infrastructure design and the rest of the design will
    follow the infrastructure design

    Ecosystem Biointergration
    Nature try to integrate as much as possible. This is something that we are trying to do in
    architecture. The yin and yang is an aspiration diagram, symbolises the balance between;
    - Nature
    - Human Society
    - Hydrology
    - Technology, built environment and artefact

    Ecosystem Responsive to climate


    Ecosystem responds to climate. Ecosystems around the world are not the same because it
    naturally responds to climate in the same way the species responds to climate.

    When you look at the whole world. You can see the tropical belt, temperate belt, and cold
    climate. And there are different species in each climate zone.

    Picture 7. Climate
    Source: Author
    The blue line represents the temperature in each season.
    The peak of the first curve is the coldest day in winter. Whilst the peak of the second curve is
    the hottest day in summer.

    The intersection between the two lines are the spring and autumn. Or it is called mid season.
    When the temperature is very nice. So what are going to optimize the ‘mid-season’. Extend
    as much as possible into the summer by natural ventilation and extend as much as possible
    in winter by reducing the need for heaters in the winter and reducing the need for air con in
    the summer.

    The first approach in low energy design is design with the climate. By designing with the
    climate then we are able to reduce the need for mechanical systems.

    Although the mid-season could only be achieved by mechanical systems, and designing with
    climate only reduces the steepness of the curve and never equates to the red line.

    However using the mixed mode, where we combine mechanical and environmental systems,
    the steepness is reduced even further (eg. engine generator, solar reservoir).

    The idea of this project is to circulate air throughout the building.


    Positioning the core in a building is important.
    If you choose the right orientation and location where is your core, it can act as buffer from
    the inside and the outside.

    Ken Yeang designed this facade in order to suck the air out of the building entrance.

    The projects below this are created with an umbrella in mind.The idea is to create an
    umbrella building where it will protect the sun from sun and rain, however still let wind pass
    through the building.

    The shade ( umbrella ) lets in the morning sun and keeps out mid-day sun. So adjust
    depending on the direction of climatic elements.

    - Our building have the responsibility of recycling and reusing material and have a
    clear circulation of nature and building
    - Aside with all the infrastructures build we also need to modify and design the
    infrastructure well and change the society’s behavior on how to use the infrastructure
    that will not harm the 3 other aspects of the environment.

    Summary
    How to integrate architecture and ecology ( climate, biotic cycle, biology, geology, etc ).
    Bio integration concept considering nature, human, water, and environment.
    Key ecosystem attributes.

    Motivation for young architects.


    - Once you start something, do not stop until you are done with it.
    - And once you are in it, you better do an extremely well job or nothing at all.
