Description
The evolution of WOHA over the last 15 years has taken their practice from private houses and conservation projects in Singapore, through smaller public and commercial developments to their current Asia-wide range of resorts, hotels, apartment towers and large-scale city buildings. This monograph extensively documents all of WOHA's significant projects (both built and unrealised), through colour photographs, sketches and detailed formal drawings. Also included are essays by Anna Johnson and Leon van Schaik along with personal observations by William Lim and Erwin Viray.
