The architecture of WOHA, founded by Wong Mun Summ and Richard Hassell in 1994, is notable for its constant evolution and innovation. A profound awareness of local context and tradition is intertwined with an ongoing exploration of contemporary architectural form-making and ideas, thus creating a unique fusion of practicality and invention. WOHA has won an unprecedented amount of architectural awards for a Southeast Asian practice, such as the 2011 RIBA Lubetkin Prize, 2010 International Highrise Award and the 2007 Aga Khan Award for Architecture.
