Its built form and ideas greatly influenced Yeang's later work.

Yeang's design work is characterized by their ideas-driven builtform where each design usually expounds one or more of his newly invented eco systemic or technical ideas pn or novel devices ( such as the eco land-bridge and the eco-undercroft in the Guangzhou masterplan, China ), the ' ecocell ' ( in the Kowloon Waterfront Masterplan, Hong Kong ), the ' green ecoinfrastructure ' ( in the SOMA Masterplan, India, the continuous green-wall ( in DiGi Data Centre in Shah Alam, Malaysia ), the ' Vertical Linear Park ' ( in the Solaris building, in Singapore ) and others.

Yeang's design and built work have been recognised by the many awards received since 1989 ( over 40 ) that include the Aga Khan Award for Architecture ( for the Menara Mesiniaga, an IBM franchise ), the Prince Claus Award ( Netherlands ), the UIA ( International Union of Architects ) August Perret Award, the Malaysian Institute of Architects Gold Medal ( 2011 ) and its design awards, the WACA ( World Association of Chinese Architects ) Gold Medals ( for the Solaris Building, 2011 and for the National Library Singapore ), the Government of Malaysia ’ s ‘ Darjah Mulia Pangkuan Negen ( DMPN ) award that carries the official title of ‘ Dato ’ ( 2003, generally regarded as the Malaysian equivalent of the UK ’ s OBE ), The Lynn S. Beedle Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, the Holcim Regional Award for Sustainability ( Switzerland ) ( for the Putrajaya Phase 2C5 building, Malaysia, 2011 ), the Merdeka Award ( for the ' environment ' category, 2011 ), an award from the Malaysian government regarded as its national equivalent of the Nobel prize.

The relevance in Yeang's ecoarchitecture, differentiating his design work from other ecodesigners is an authentic ecology-based approach to architecture and masterplanning.

Credibility is accorded to Yeang's ecodesign work from his over four decades of extensive built experience enabling him to implement his ecodesign propositions.

We might contend that in reviewing Yeang's oeuvre of design, built and theoretical work, his most important and instructive contribution to ecological design is his advancing the landmark macro ecology-based landuse planning approach of one of his mentors, the landscape architect Professor Ian McHarg ( University of Pennsylvania ) and then extending and articulating this ecomasterplannng work from its large-scale urban planning scale with its ecology-based approach to the ' micro level ' of architectural design at the scale of the built form.

Fundamental to Yeang's design work is an ecological nexus as an ecoinfrastructure within the built structure.

Yeang's asserts that ecological design is not just about cleantech or ecoengineering or carbon neutral systems ; but that ecotechnologies and engineering must be integrated with and be influenced by the ecology, climate and physical conditions of the site.

Yeang's work on the theory of ecodesign and its advancement is where Yeang has significantly contributed and advanced this field of endeavor.

What is particularly motivating in Yeang's work is this original eco aesthetic, as an aspect of ecodesign that is close to Yeang ’ s heart.

It is this green ecoaesthetic in Yeang's architecture that brought considerable international attention to his work and to his selection as architect of choice.

A not commonly known fact that may explain Yeang's success as a professional architect and his ability to maintain a pole position as an innovative leading ecodesigner is his business acumen acquired from his attendance in his early years of courses in business management at the Malaysian Institute of Management and the Singapore Institute of Management, and a short course at Harvard Business School.

The German Government's IFA will exhibit Yeang's work together with Landscape Architect Seksan at the IFA Gallery in Stuttgart, opening 18 October 2012.

Yeang's work affirms that ecodesigned architecture and masterplans can have a green aesthetic.

The Actor Brad Pitt in the PBS documentary, design / e2 ( 2006 ) refers to Yeang's work, '.. wind, rain and sun in the minds of most architects, they are enemies.

The most significant impact of Yeang's work on architecture might be contended to be his revisiting of architectural design to be now no longer as designing architecture simply as synthetic and inanimate objects, but as the complex creation of built structures as ' constructed living systems ', that he contends must of course also address other user programmatic functions such as exceptionally fulfilling user needs, creating vitally experiential and pleasurable spaces, etc.

Yeang and his ecodesigns have been featured in a number of special broadcasts, including BBC ( UK ) television and radio, NHK ( Japan ), Asia Discovery Channel ( Asia ), PBS ( USA ) ‘ design = e2 ’ ( in which the actor Brad Pitt refers to Yeang's work, '... wind, rain and the sun, in the minds of most architects, they are the enemies .. but what if buildings can utilise and respond to the conditions of the environment?

When I try to work out my reasons for feeling that this passage is of critical significance, I come up with the following ideas, which I shall express very briefly here and revert to in a later essay.

But ideas, just for the sake of having them, are not enough.

The Hetman's `` ideas '' for news stories or editorial campaigns were by no means always fruitless or lacking in merit.

Let us not confuse the issue by labeling the objective or the method `` psychoanalytic '', for this is a well established term of art for the specific ideas and procedures initiated by Sigmund Freud and his followers for the study and treatment of disordered personalities.

In the calm which follows the reading of a poem, for example, is the effect produced by the enforced quiet, by the musical quality of words and rhythm, by the sentiments or sense of the poem, by the associations with earlier readings, if it is familiar, by the boost to the self-esteem for the semi-literate, by the diversion of attention, by the sense of security in a legitimized withdrawal, by a kind license for some variety of fantasy life regarded as forbidden, or by half-conscious ideas about the magical power of words??

We must avoid the notion, suggested to some people by examples such as those just mentioned, that ideas are `` units '' in some way comparable to coins or counters that can be passed intact from one group of people to another or even, for that matter, from one individual to another.

Such a list must naturally be selective, and the treatment of each man is brief, for I am interested only in their general ideas on the moral measure of literature.

If his circumspection in regard to Philip's sensibilities went so far that he even refused to grant a dispensation for the marriage of Amadee's daughter, Agnes, to the son of the dauphin of Vienne -- a truly peacemaking move according to thirteenth-century ideas, for Savoy and Dauphine were as usual fighting on opposite sides -- for fear that he might seem to be favoring the anti-French coalition, he would certainly never take the far more drastic step of ordering the return of Gascony to Edward, even though, as he admitted to the English ambassadors, he had been advised that the original cession was invalid.

The publication last July of the party's Draft Program -- that blueprint for the `` transition to communism '' -- had led the uninitiated to suppose that this Twenty-second Congress would be a sort of apotheosis of the Khrushchev regime, a solemn consecration of ideas which had, in fact, been current over the last three or four years ( i.e., since the defeat of the `` anti-party group '' ) in all theoretical party journals.

There was only one way to accomplish this: by design, by drawing diagrams and sketches in which he probed the remotest corner of his mind for creative ideas to carry his concept.

Yet some, like Morris Manderscheid, would bankrupt themselves for the new ideas.

Despite the many avenues for the exchange of ideas between faculty and administration, complaints of a lack of communication persist.

The president has little influence in day-by-day curricular changes, but if he looks ahead two, three, or five years to anticipate issues and throw out challenging ideas, he can open the way for innovation, and he can also have a great deal to say as to what path it will take.

We now generalize these ideas for general binomial experiments.

probably it is correct to think of it as a matter of a well-grooved, stereotyped mode of expression -- and no, or but a few, other communicational grooves, as yet -- being there, available for the patient's use, as newly-emerging emotions and ideas well up in him over the course of months.

Around the 1990s, Yeang began to develop ideas for designing the high-rise with the intriguing proposition of looking at the high-rise typology as vertical green urbanism.

Serendipity is used as a sociological method in Anselm L. Strauss ' and Barney G. Glaser's Grounded Theory, building on ideas by sociologist Robert K. Merton, who in Social Theory and Social Structure ( 1949 ) referred to the " serendipity pattern " as the fairly common experience of observing an unanticipated, anomalous and strategic datum which becomes the occasion for developing a new theory or for extending an existing theory.

* Building a better world – A conviction that with reason, an open exchange of ideas, good will, and tolerance, progress can be made in building a better world for ourselves and our children.

His initial ideas were those that eventually manifested themselves in the final building but between Autumn 1928 and Spring 1929 he undertook a series of alternatives that were influenced primarily by the Savoye's concern about cost.
