W Architects / Mok Wei Wei

From the early 1990s, he practiced in partnership within Lim's WLA architects, and then established W Architects in 2003. Early work for Lim's practice explored postmodern and deconstructivist ideas, exemplified by the Church Cinema (1987) and the Tampines North Community Centre (1989). He is a part-time tutor at the School of Architecture, National University of Singapore since 1992, and his work was exhibited at the Venice Biennale (2004). He is a member of the Singapore Preservation of Monuments Board since 1999. Recent projects include the Loft Condominium (1996-2002), and the Arris Apartments (1998-2003).
