Mr. Philip Kwang is a façade consultant from Façade Global Master Pte Ltd in Singapore. He was the Technical Advisor from Aedas for South Beach Mixed Development, a Norman Foster’s project. He was also a Technical Advisor for façade integration at Ng Teng Fong Hospital. He is an adjunct lecturer at Dept of Architecture, National University of Singapore where taught façade technology as an advanced architecture technology for more than 18 years. In more recent times, he pioneered a special programme known as “solar architecture” to prepare master degree architectural students for the imminent future of integrating solar photo voltaic into architectural facades. In 2020, he was invited by BCA Academy to teach solar architecture as part of their Green Mark Professional program. In 1985, he was a speaker at the first ever Curtain Wall Conference organised by CIDB (now known as BCA), where he spoked about the importance of façade specification as a critical tool in façade engineering and design. He made a rallying call at this seminar for the industry to develop national standards for curtain wall. He then went on to volunteer himself in several committees drafting national standards for curtain walls such as SS 381:1996 (Curtain Wall Testing Standard) and CP 96:2002 Code of Practice for Curtain Wall) and the recently published SS654:2020 (Code of Practice for Curtain Wall).
