Mok Wei Wei: Works by W Architects charts the exceptional career, over almost four decades, of the Singaporean architect and his boutique firm, whose multifaceted buildings have subtly redefined a modern nation into a global city-state. Going far beyond Singapore’s well-known associations with 'tropical' and 'green' architecture, Mok has steadfastly expanded this narrow discourse with a contextual response to the city’s ever-changing urban conditions and search for a distinct identity. The results are innovative architectural solutions that draw from a variety of spatial cultures – from the pragmatic transparency of The Paterson Edge condominium to the austere rock that is the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum – a body of work that has made Mok one of Asia’s leading architects.
