My background in civil engineering provided me with a deep understanding of mathematics, mechanics, and structural design. This knowledge proved invaluable when I transitioned into architectural design, allowing me to approach design and optimize results from a more rational and scientific perspective. During my graduate studies, I continued to build upon these strengths and developed a keen interest in parametric design. Through design studios and technical electives, I became highly skilled in Grasshopper and Python, as well as advanced modeling software like Maya and ZBrush. I also gained familiarity with cutting-edge technologies such as 3D printing, carbon fiber weaving, and bio-material robotic fabrication. With these skills at my disposal, I feel confident in my ability to expertly apply parametric design principles to architectural design.
Differential, Computational Designer
- Works closely with Computation Design Lead to develop a rooftop for a housing project in New Zealand, uses parametric design tools to complete sunlight/wind/rain analysis, and generates and optimizes structural elements such as supports, runners, and panels.
- Participated in the design team for the ICON Initiative 99 competition, completing work including 2D/3D modeling, rendering, and several analysis through computational design methods.
UNStudio, Amsterdam, NL, Architectural Trainee
- Completed the design of the rooftop, southeast entrance facade, and the main facade, and participated in making various types of diagrams in a competition project in Munich, Germany.
- Assisted in setting up the 3D site model, developing massing and facade studies, and completing diagrams and elevation drawings in a competition project in Dusseldorf, Germany.
- Participated in the renovation of the Valkhof Museum, including site strategy, ceiling, and staircase adjustment, and materiality tests in Nijmegen, Netherlands.
Ennead Architects, Shanghai, CN, Architectural Intern
- Participated in weekly seminars with clients, transport consultants and render/landscape advisers on the committed industrial campus project located in Lingang District, Shanghai, China.
- Assisted in drawing various kinds of diagrams and setting up rendering scenes in Enscape.
- Completed the facade design of four types of factories in this whole industrial campus.
