This talk traces Kun Lim’s journey from his childhood in a humble farming village in Kedah, Malaysia—living in a house built by his late father, an immigrant from China—to his professional and academic experiences in Europe and the United States. Through studies at the University of Houston and international travels for projects, forums, and conferences, Lim explores how memories, encounters, and observations across diverse landscapes have shaped his approach to architecture, urban design, and planning.
He believes that architecture is rooted not only in buildings, but in people, places, lived experiences, and dreams.
“Architecture is rooted not only in buildings, but in people, places, lived experiences, and dreams.”
Kun Lim is the Design Principal of Kun Lim Studio LLC in Seattle and Kun Lim Architect in Kuala Lumpur. A University of Houston graduate, he leads an international practice with a diverse portfolio, including mixed-use developments, athletic facilities, places of worship, healthcare, multifamily housing, and township planning.
His master plan for Putrajaya, Malaysia’s new administrative capital, won a design competition in 1994 during his tenure at BEP Architect. He later served as Lead Planner and Designer for two and a half years with Kumpulan Perunding Kota Bistari, overseeing the master planning of Putrajaya.
Kun’s work has been featured in architectural publications and mainstream media. He frequently speaks at conferences worldwide, including DATUM: KL International Architecture Conference (July 6, 2024, Kuala Lumpur) and the American Institute of Architects Conference on Architecture & Design (June 4, 2025, Boston).
