Ng Sek San has been described as a non-conformist, a maverick who believes in simple, affordable and local solutions. The Principal of Seksan Design: Landscape Architecture & Planning in Malaysia, his projects are driven by a belief in making works that reflect an egalitarian lifestyle.

Trained in New Zealand, Ng Sek San’s first five years as a landscape architect were with Boffa Miskell in Christchurch. All his projects are now concentrated in Kuala Lumpur as he has not taken on any commercial overseas commissions in the last eight years.

Ng Sek San will be speaking on practice disruption at the 2019 NZILA Firth Conference in Christchurch in November. His visit is sponsored by NZILA.
