Xinyue Geng is an award-winning architectural designer. And artist with a rich professional journey that spans her design journey in China, the UK, and the US. She is currently an architectural designer in Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates where she plays an important role. In realising landmark projects which earned her global prestige and awards for her groundbreaking designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m Xinyue Geng, an award-winning architect and digital artist with a diverse international background. As an Architecture Designer at Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) in New York. I play a key role in landmark projects, with a portfolio spanning from small-scale structures to super high-rise developments. I hold advanced degrees from Cornell University, Northwestern Polytechnical University. And the University of Strathclyde, bringing a rich global perspective and cross-cultural sensitivity to my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

KPF is one of the world’s top design firms. As part of KPF’s New York studio, I am honoured to have contributed to many landmark projects. Including super high-rise office towers, high-end residential and master planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design is inspired by the nostalgic childhood treehouse we all loved, combined with the allure of a mysterious dream where we can escape from the everyday.<\/mark> I wanted to design something that evoked a sense of nostalgia, wonder, and reminiscent, like our childhood memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

With its hanging structure, the treehouse achieves a light and elegant presence. Flowing seamlessly atop the treetops, evoking the image of an alien ship floating in the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absolutely. The use of bamboo in Forest Float, for instance, is a nod to traditional Chinese architecture, which often incorporates natural materials that blend with the environment. Growing up surrounded by rich cultural traditions has instilled in me a deep respect for craftsmanship and sustainability, which I strive to integrate into my designs. My work often reflects a balance between modern innovation and cultural continuity, ensuring that each project is both contemporary and rooted in its context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
