The new practice, Morrow, is named after the studio [Liu Thai Ker's] father, the pioneer artist Liu Kang, ran in the 1940s and 1950s. And though he joked that he was probably "the oldest man to start a company", Dr Liu stressed that he has no plans to retire soon and intends to work for as long as he can.

Age is just a number! Dubbed the “architect of modern Singapore”, 79-year-old Liu Thai Ker is leaving his Director position at RSP Architects Planners & Engineers to start his own practice, Morrow, which will open December 1.

Leading 40 employees (who are also coming from RSP), Liu Thai Ker “hopes his firm can help other cities to produce better plans, and also ‘architecture design that is not a direct copy of Western magazines’”, The Straits Times writes.
