editor's note<br />
Hello readers of Southeast Asia Building and<br />
welcome to the May/June issue. This issue<br />
looks at the design of sports venues around<br />
the world. Sports architecture has undergone<br />
profound changes over the years to include various<br />
aspects such as aesthetics, reduced energy use and<br />
environmental sustainability. We showcase some of<br />
these features in the projects that we have put together. Enjoy the read with<br />
plenty of colourful photos!<br />
In the interior design section, we bring you a feature on KU DÉ TA<br />
Bangkok. Opened in 2013, KU DÉ TA Bangkok houses two world class dining<br />
rooms, an electrifying nightclub and two unique themed bar.<br />
In the Landscaping section, we have an interview with Matt Miller, CEO<br />
of Playworld Systems who shares with us trends in playground equipment<br />
design and the challenges ahead for the company. We have also lined up<br />
some exciting playground projects by Playpoint, International Play Company<br />
and Dynamo Industries.<br />
Finally, as a tribute to the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s first Prime<br />
Minister, we have reproduced an interview between Mr Lee and Chairman of<br />
the Centre for Liveable Cities, Dr Liu Thai Ker who spoke with Mr Lee on 31<br />
August 2012.<br />
We hope you enjoy this issue and as always welcome your comments or<br />
feedback.<br />
