Richard Hassell is the co-founding director of WOHA, an internationally acclaimed architectural practice based in Singapore. He graduated from the University of Western Australia in 1989 and was awarded a Master of Architecture degree by RMIT University, Melbourne in 2002. Hassell has lectured at universities around the world and served as an adjunct professor at the University of Technology, Sydney and the University of Western Australia.
WOHA launched a new book at the 2016 Venice Biennale, called Garden City Mega City, which shares strategies for the exploding megacities of the tropical belt. In the book, WOHA shows how integrated landscape, architecture and urbanism can improve quality of life within high-density environments. WOHA exhibited an invited solo show at the Skyscraper Museum in New York from March to September 2016, and four substantial monographs have already been published – WOHA: The Architecture of WOHA, WOHA: Selected Projects volumes 1 and 2, and WOHA: Breathing Architecture.
