Tianbo Liu is a licensed architect with over eight years working experience and a Master of architecture degree from the University of Michigan. He is currently with Reddymade Architecture and Design as a project architect and project manager. During the past years, he has successfully completed multiple projects ranging in size from art installations, NYC townhouse renovations, single-family ground-up houses, to the Google retail store. He is experienced in design, structuring and producing project documentations, communicating with clients, cooperating with various project stakeholders, and construction administration.
Tianbo has a strong understanding of construction. When dealing with projects with challenging design concepts/forms, he is able to foresee potential construction difficulties in early phases and optimize the design to ensure a smooth implementation. In the Google retail store project, his primary task was to bring the major program components, such as the Magic Space and the Event Space screen wall, to life. He streamlined the design process in close cooperation with various stakeholders, navigated the design through the design requirements and construction constraints, and worked closely with GC during construction to resolve field issues. This project not only showcased his technical skills, but also demonstrated his ability to think creatively and resolve complex design challenges.
Tianbo is also proficient in utilizing hand sketches and parametric tools to aid the design process. He has led designs for several projects and has won multiple RFPs and brought them to life. Additionally, he is a strong collaborator and team player. For one of his past projects, he worked closely with an international team made of multiple consultants, the fabricator, the QC team and the field installation contractor, and successfully delivered the project during the pandemic.
