I am currently working at Adjaye Associates in New York. With global practice experience in China, Japan, Los Angeles, and New York, I embrace a design approach that integrates extensive research of locality, culture, and environment. I received my Master of Architecture degree at Harvard University Graduate School of Design and my Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree at Washington University in St. Louis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason I chose to become a designer is straightforward. I believe each architecture is unique. Its formal orchestration reflects a specific environment and cultural background.

I believe each architecture is unique. Its formal orchestration reflects a specific environment and cultural background. As an architectural designer, I am enthusiastic about creating unique spaces for people to experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite architecture shows generous empathy for its environment and cultural backgrounds, such as utilizing traditional construction techniques or local sustainable materials. The coherent narrative of architecture and its locality helps people, essentially readers, to understand it better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tingchendesign\/?hl=en\"
