I had the role of Design Director/ Senior Architect on the design development of three stations on the new KL Metro system. Originally, my role was to produce designs for the entrances but this quickly expanded to the refinement of the interiors also. I was in charge of a team of around 20-25 architects, technicians and other consultants in the production of these designs and oversaw production information up to the completion of the DD stage.
