Renowned architect Kun Lim joins Dato Dr. Ooi Kee Beng on Spill The Teh to reflect on how childhood, culture and place have shaped his approach to architecture. Drawing from his upbringing in a Kedah village, his architectural education at the University of Houston and his experiences in Dublin and beyond, Lim discusses the importance of designing in response to local climates, materials and communities. From Putrajaya to community libraries and other small-scale projects, he explores the balance between functionality, sustainability, cultural identity and creative expression. Kun Lim also reflects on the challenges of navigating modern architecture, the influence of multiculturalism, and his aspiration to create buildings that connect meaningfully with their surroundings. This is a conversation about architecture as both a response to place and a reflection of the people who inhabit it.
