Ame M. Engelhart

AME ENGELHART is an accomplished architect and urban designer focused on the design of cities, districts, and large, complex architectural projects. Based in Hong Kong since 1993, she has extensive experience in China and Southeast Asia. As the Director of SOM’s Hong Kong office, she is responsible for steering the firm’s overall strategic objectives and growing regional development in ASEAN/Pacific and PRD markets.

In recent decades, SOM’s urban design work in China has created several successful old town redevelopment planning projects—such as Shanghai Xintiandi and Foshan Lingnan Tiandi—that integrate China’s ancient urban heritage into a new type of urban placemaking, one that celebrates local traditions while also creating immeasurable economic, social, and cultural value. Guangzhou’s Old Town is the latest of these.
