Yuheng Zhu is a B.Arch graduate from Cornell University. To her, architecture endeavors to create spatial conditions that transform the lives of inhabitants, and consequently to transform urban paradigms. Architects and urban designers have the capacity and responsibility to promote alternative and better urban futures, through active cross-disciplinary dialogues.
As an architect, she believes that meticulous attention to detail and empathy with users is indispensable to a rigorous design. She is always fervent to take challenges and determined to push her work to another level. As a team-oriented designer, she always contributes to her team with disciplined work ethics, productive discussions, and comfortable with consistent iterations.
