About 

After receiving his Bachelor's from UNM SA+P in Albuquerque, NM, in 2016, Frank Feng began his architectural career in San Francisco, CA. He worked on many projects ranging from a high-rise luxury apartment to interior remodels for high-end residential homes and affordable/market rate housing. 

In 2020, Frank received his Master's in Advanced Architecture at IAAC in Barcelona, Spain. During his time there, he further developed his architectural and fabrication skills and acquired a strong interest in parametricism and computer programming. 

Since then he has continued his professional career in Beijing, China. From there, he has worked on projects of various scales from commercial to office renovations to masterplans while also specializing in parametric design with a huge emphasis on fabrication and prototyping.

Frank has had the privilege to be part of multicultural and interdisciplinary working environments where he strengthened his eye for detail and improved his strong design skills. Having lived in many multicultural yet different areas all over the world, he realizes that architecture is the most of human interaction and is meant to have a sensuous connection between the living and memory, the built and the imagination.
