WOHA Architects is a Singapore-based practice focused on researching and innovating integrated architectural and urban solutions to tackle the problems of the 21st century such as climate change, population growth, and rapidly increasing urbanisation.
With every project, the practice creates living systems that connect to the city. They aim to be a matrix of interconnected human-scaled environments that foster community, enable stewardship of nature, generate biocentric beauty, activate ecosystem services, and build resilience. This is achieved by applying WOHA’s systems-thinking approach, which recognises how each development interacts with other systems that it is part of, and works across disciplines to achieve an integrated outcome.
Ar. Wong Mun Summ co-founded WOHA in 1994 with Ar. Richard Hassell. Wong teaches at his alma mater, the National University of Singapore’s Department of Architecture, and has also been appointed to the Seidler Chair in the Practice of Architecture at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. He sits on various design advisory panels in Singapore and around the world, including the Nominating Committee of the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize.
