Karl Fender

Karl Fender is a co-founder of Fender Katsalidis Architects, the practice behind the designs of Kuala Lumpur’s Merdeka 118 and Melbourne buildings including Eureka Tower and Australia 108.

He has served as National President of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and continues to contribute to architectural advisory committees, design competitions and government design-review panels.

His career has taken him across towers, workplaces, homes and public spaces. Yet architecture is experienced at more than one scale.

At TEDxBukit Bintang, Karl starts with buildings and leads us towards the movement, memory and everyday life that form around them.
