T. R. Hamzah & Yeang: Ecology of the Sky is a critique of the key skyscrapers designed by T. R. Hamzah & Yeang Sdn Bhd (the firm of Ken Yeang and Tengku Robert Hamzah) in the context of their ecological design agenda.

The book is richly illustrated, comparable to a pictorial encyclopaedia of skyscraper design. Construction details, exploded diagrams, large drawings, illustrated vignettes of the firm's propositions, technical essays by collaborators, and exploratory diagrams of the firm's nascent ideas are included.

T. R. Hamzah & Yeang: Ecology of the Sky is a critique of the key skyscrapers designed by T. R. Hamzah & Yeang Sdn Bhd (the firm of Ken Yeang and Tengku Robert Hamzah) in the context of their ecological design agenda.Ivor Richards regards the firm's novel method of work as an ongoing series of investigative experiments.

The firm believes that the conclusions drawn from these experiments, regardless of whether they result in successful outcomes, can be used to advance thinking in the field of ecological architecture and to meet the firm's overall green agenda. This investigative approach is referred to as a modified form of rapid prototyping, operating in a 'research,design and development', knowledge-based approach to architecture.
