We talk to Szue Hann, an Architect & Sustainability expert about the process of turning a vision into an actual skyscraper, as well as his experiences working on iconic projects like the Parkroyal Collection Pickering in Singapore. He also dives deep into the importance of sustainability in Architecture, and the critical role it plays in designing for a more climate-friendly future. And of course, he shares his journey about how he actually entered the industry, and what he cherishes most about it.
