Game changers

Ho was recently involved in designing the award-winning Taikoo Green Ribbon project, presenting a set of ideas to develop a carbon-neutral commercial tower. He cites this as an example of how environmentally conscious "Design for Change" concepts can be rolled out in real life.

"It's important that we don't design our environment only for the present; we need to look one, two or even three decades ahead," Ho adds. "We need to think broadly but also focus more on human experience, nature and technology. At Arup, we work actively across different disciplines and expertise with a rigorous, holistic approach. Our goal is to shape a better environment and create a much more sustainable, regenerative future."
