I hold a Master of Science in Design in Advanced Architectural Design from the University of Pennsylvania. I am pursuing a PhD focused on carbon—and energy-reducing design, which has significantly shaped my artistic approach.My design focuses on how buildings can integrate seamlessly with their environment to enhance sustainability and energy efficiency. Morphology, geometry, and performance-based design are central to my work. I am particularly inspired by how a building's energy performance shapes its form and how the natural environment interacts with and negotiates the structure's shape. This dynamic relationship between architecture and its surroundings guides my approach as I strive to create designs that are both efficient and in harmony with nature. My design work has been featured in international magazines and books, and I have been invited to numerous conferences and exhibitions to share my ideas and present my work.

I am currently working at HKS, and worked at PES Architects, David Chipperfield Architects, Mecanoo Architecten, and SOM. I have a diverse career spanning architectural firms across Asia, Europe, and the United States. From my early academic years, I have been committed to the transformative power of architecture, recognizing its impact on human experiences, spatial and temporal dimensions, and problem-solving capabilities. This commitment has guided my ongoing practice and experimentation.My portfolio includes extensive involvement in renovation and extension projects worldwide. I believe these strategies are vital for sustainably extending the life cycle of buildings and enhancing the dynamic relationship between architecture and the public realm.I have extensive experience in winning international design awards, such as Red Dot Awards, IDA Awards; and winning prizes in various architectural design competitions. My experience guiding students and delivering lectures allows me to provide insightful, constructive feedback, making me an excellent jury candidate.

My work centers on the history of architectural technology, with a particular focus on the techniques and cultural dimensions of traditional East Asian timber architecture, as well as the theory and practice of contemporary cultural heritage conservation. Alongside this primary research trajectory, I have long been interested in architectural phenomenology and have translated Juhani Pallasmaa’s trilogy into Chinese.In architectural education, I teach both first-year and third-year courses. The first year emphasizes fundamental training, while the third year is organized around research-oriented design projects. These projects guide students through contextual investigations—paying particular attention to cultural, community, and sustainability aspects—as well as technical inquiries that familiarize them with applicable construction methods and potential innovations. I encourage students to approach design with creativity informed by both cultural and technical perspectives.Additionally, I lead an intensive two-week course on the survey and documentation of historic buildings. This course immerses students in the lived experience of premodern architecture, allowing them to encounter historical modes of building firsthand and reflect on what may be absent in contemporary life.
