bOcA Studio Designers Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are four architectural designers united by a shared passion and common goal: to contribute high-quality design that enhances urban environments and living habitats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhiyu Li is an architectural and urban designer based in the United States. She earned her Bachelor of Architecture in China and her Master of Architecture in Urban Design from Harvard University.

Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This experience made us realize how architectural design could bridge the past and present, creating meaningful connections. This realization fueled our passion for design as a way to create spatial experiences that resonate with people, evoke emotions, celebrate culture, and enhance their lives. The desire to make a positive impact through design is why we chose to dedicate our careers to becoming architectural designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To us, design is more than just creating physical spaces and tangible objects. It is a catalyst for sparking social and philosophical thoughts and a tool for preserving historical memories while envisioning future opportunities. Design permeates every aspect of life, from grand scales to intimate details, profoundly impacting our society and environment. We see design as a powerful instrument to protect and enhance our living spaces, shaping a better habitat for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
