Ken Yeang is an architect, planner and ecologist, best known for his signature ecoarchitecture and ecomasterplans, which are differentiated from other green architects by an authentic ecology-based approach, and by their distinctive green aesthetics, performance and biodiversity, beyond conventional rating systems. He was trained at the Architectural Association School in the UK. He is a pioneer in the field of green design, starting from his doctorate in the 1970s at Cambridge University on ecological design and planning.
