Keat Ng did not plan to be an architect. In fact, he decided to take up the profession just a week before sending off his university application.
“I was trying to decide between mass communication and architecture, but genuine interest related to architecture started to surface during that last week. I have since discovered that mass communication and architecture are very much interlinked and share many qualities,” says Ng.
Ng registered his practice, KKNG Architect, in 2002 but started running it only in 2010.
“I had, by then, gathered enough confidence and understanding, especially after working on the Qatar National Library. There was high complexity in design, detail and management, such that I felt it was the right time to contribute to the architectural landscape in Malaysia and the region.
