I am an architectural designer currently based in New York, and I’m from Xiamen, China. I earned my M.Arch degree at Yale School of Architecture, and my B.Arch degree from Carnegie Mellon University. I’ve worked at Kohn Pedersen Fox, in both NY and SH office for 3 years, and have acquainted myself with experience related to project development, documentation, and construction administration.
Personally, I value architecture as experience and carriers of meaning. My hometown Xiamen is a mild coastal city in SE China, which was a former international settlement (Kulangsu). Its elegant old mansions, winding lanes, along with its fascinating history, have great impacts on me since childhood, and have convinced me of living environment’s potential to enrich life with poetry and dignity.
