Ken Yeang - Bartlett International Lecture Series

Lecturer's Abstract

“This lecture will present a nature-centric approach for the designing and planning of the built environment, based on the science of ecology. Ken's work illustrates how the ‘ecosystem’ concept (as ecology’s model of nature) can provide the principle for the designing and making of the human-made world by emulating ecosystem attributes for a resilient, durable and sustainable future for all life on the planet.

The lecture will further present a theoretical model for ecological design, including bio-integration and near-zero energy (carbon neutral) buildings. The presentation will be illustrated by the speaker’s design and built work.”
