Urbane Design

EVERY DISCIPLINE IS elevated by nuance and sophistication. In the canvas of architecture, one truth has been crucial to its essence as a globally impactful multi-faceted, multispeciality industry: the inside matters as much as the outside.

For the duration of his career as an architect and expert on high-rise structures, Tim Johnson, a partner and commercial market leader at the award-winning architecture firm NBBJ, has purposefully employed design to maximise the welfare of the people who engage with the spaces his firm creates. After signing off on The Sail @ Marina Bay in 2008, his next project in Singapore is the 33-storey next-generation smart building Keppel South Central, slated for completion in the fourth quarter of this year.

What about the power of urban design has been the most revelatory to you?
