Chang Yong Ter (Chang Architects)
|
Born and raised in Singapore, Yong Ter's passion for architecture was discovered during his university years at the School of Architecture, National University of Singapore. Upon graduation, he sought apprenticeship with Mr. Tang Guan Bee for several years, before starting his practice, CHANG Architects, at the turn of this millennium.
In his early years of practice, he was one of the 20 architects to be selected by the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore to showcase the works of young and emerging architects in Singapore. It was published in 20 Under 45: A Selection of Works by Under-45.
He believes architectural design is both an intuitive and rational work of the heart and the mind, exploring new grounds by unlearning and forgetting, and self-discoveries of the basics/origin. His passion in art/architecture, and his belief that architecture has great influences on one’s well-being and the psychic, spurs him to uncover works that are both life-enhancing and inspirational.
