Designworks: Functionality first

The Edge Malaysia article features architect Lim Chai Boon, whose career reflects a strong focus on function-driven design. He began his journey as an Architectural Technician student at SP, where he studied and topped his class before advancing to further studies and building a long career in architecture. Over the years, he worked with major firms and eventually became a leader at Swan & Maclaren, contributing to projects across Asia. His design philosophy emphasises that function should come before form, ensuring buildings are practical, efficient and user-focused, while still maintaining aesthetic value.
