Dear Empolyers,
I'm currently enrolled in Ms. AAD program of architecture school in Columbia University. And I had bachelor degree of architecture in University of Miami and minored ART. I had three architecture internships. One is working on housing project in Florez Lopez Architects. One is about student apartment project in Shandong Jianzhu Design Institute. And, another one is about research project in Haiti Initiative in-house charrette team.
I mainly use Rhino, Python and Grasshopper to build model and do rendering with 3d Max. I also use Photoshop, Ai and Indesign. I know and used revit for one semester studio.
I have a F1 visa which allows me to work 20 hours a week. I could work entire days on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. I would like to look for an unpaid part-time internship to practice myself.
The following pages show all my information and materials including cover letter, resume and portfolio. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks a lot for your time,
Best,
Xiaoyu,

Florez Lopez Architects, Miami, FL, US, Assistant Architect
It is a summer internship. I was in charge of drawing and checking construction drawings for housing projects. There were two housing projects. One is a reconstruction project for a two-stories house. Another one is a design for a one-story house for a couple and their 3 children.

The Haiti Project has four groups which are in charge of urban planing design, school design, hospital design and tourist routes design. Sonia Chao is the leader of the entire team. I was in the tourist routes design group and helped a expert of tourism to document the local entertainments. I drew agriculture map showing different existing agriculture fields. And I did researches about historical building and re-designed them.

Columbia University, New York, NY, US, MArch, Ms. AAD
I already had the first semester in this summer. I am doing my second one now. Studying in Columbia University is very exciting and has a lot diversities. The direction of studio is opening to all possibilities. The city and the school open my mind and give me strong support to study the coding and programming part in architecture, which the technology and knowledge support cannot find in other places. Students work as a team in studio, which offers me amount of opportunities to learn from others. I don't only learn from Professors in this school.
University of Miami, Miami, FL, US, BArch, Undergraduate Architecture School
The architecture study in University of Miami is regarded as classical and traditional teaching. However, the school did a lot of efforts to change its image. I had a professor who was teaching in MIT taught me programming and coding. Our dean of architecture school is also focusing on artificial lighting programming in architecture. I learned a lot in that school.
Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan, China, undergraduate architecture school
I studied two years in Shandong Jianzhu University in China. Then, I transferred to University of Miami and finish my undergraduate study there. The classes in China are very different from the ones in United States, but it is still a very valuable experience for me.
