King-Le Chang & Associates was founded in 2001 on two guiding values: Creativity, and Teamwork.
The company has been the lead structural designer on over three million square meters of completed projects in the Asia-Pacific region. Its work includes a broad range of product types such as master planned communities with multiple high-rise towers, ultra-luxury residences, corporate headquarters and R&D centers, hotels, and museums and performing arts centers. King-Le Chang & Associates delivers complete structural engineering solutions to complex projects and has collaborated with leading global architecture firms.
Creativity
A building's structure allows it to stand tall and protect us from nature's elements, natural disasters, and the building itself. And although safety is the basis on which structural engineering is formed, adhering to physical constraints is only the first step to delivering a complete structural engineering solution. Creative structural design also takes into account economic constraints such as reduction of construction cost and optimization of floor plans, and aesthetic constraints as well, allowing for the least compromise of an architect's design.
Meeting these requirements is as much an art as it is a science. We believe in the effectiveness of simple structural designs, frequently drawing inspiration from nature. Much of nature has evolved over time to not only withstand the elements but also maintain a harmonious relationship with its surroundings- the ultimate goal of the green building movement.
Teamwork
Successful projects are the result of a collaborative effort between many consultants. At King-Le Chang & Associates, structural engineering is not an afterthought to the design process that requires compromises in design and project economics. We realize that a building's structure is the backbone on which all else is built. A well-executed project involves a structural engineer from the earliest design phase through to the completion of construction. The final step to our complete structural engineering solution is to draw on our expertise in structural design and all aspects of the built environment in order to add value to all project stages.
