ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Jerome Ng Xin Hao

Jerome Ng Xin Hao is an architectural designer and an educator who is an enthusiast in Architecture, Film and Visual Communication. Jerome has always believed in an inter-disciplinary approach to design projects, developing unique and multifaceted works that span across different scales and fields.

Jerome also believes strongly in the power of storytelling; imagining and speculating on narratives within design that traverse the realms of architecture and material craft; and communicate meaningful messages to speculative research, utilizing both analog and digital tools to interrogate urban tectonics and reveal the narrative potential of nascent spaces. Nevertheless, there is a consistent strand grounding his work - he strives to work on projects touching on social and cultural issues within societies and contributing to the wider community with designs that make real, tangible differences in their lives.

His works have won awards and accolades including the Red Dot Design Award; Best of the Best and was also the nominee for the Red Dot Luminary Award. He has also won the World Architecture Festival: Architectural Drawing Prize in both years and have received the British Institution Award during his exhibition in the Royal Academy 250th Summer Show.
