"Ken Yeang is a Malaysian architector, and writer best known for advancing green design and planning, differentiated from other green architects by his comprehensive ecological approach." ----Wikipedia

After looking at his work, I truly understand what is eco-design, i think it's actually one part of sustainable design, not like other said they are the same. The eco-design seems pay more attention on human's mental feeling, it combines nature and metropolis, give the concrete and metal some natural and soft elements, which let people relax and feel comfortable to stay there. It's very helpful to those people who works so hard and under much pressure in the city.

Back to Ken Yeang, his "green building" is widely known by the people. In his design, plant vegetables, trees and flowers on building and makes building become a large green creature.
