My name is Caining Gu. I recently graduated with a Master of Architecture Degree from Columbia GSAPP and will be able to start working in July 2024.
I honed my skills through internships at renowned firms like RAMSA, KPF in Shanghai, and Studio Link-Arc. During my time at RAMSA, I played a key role in developing compelling presentation materials for a mixed-use development, leading to a successful client presentation and project approval. My experience also includes producing high-quality physical and 3D models, crafting detailed site analysis diagrams, and contributing to performance mock-up buildings for construction and interior design processes.
