The experience at <strong>XJTLU</strong> was the starting point of my career as an architect. I learnt the basics of architecture.<br />
I am interested in projects, which have a connection with urban and cultural aspects. During the year out, I have<br />
developed my skills and improved my understanding of the challenges that architectural practice is facing.<br />
The study life at the Politecnico di Milano focused on the reality of architectural practice, such as structures but<br />
also humanistic concerns. One of the exams consisted of designing a health post in Africa, which required me to<br />
have a deep understanding of the materials and technique used in this local area. Besides all this, observing the<br />
demands and traditions of Africa did not only provide for the inspiration of the concept for this project but also<br />
gave me some ideas for architecture in other developing countries.<br />

After graduation, I worked as an architectural designer for LVDU Real Estate Company for half a year. I focused<br />
on renovation projects in Shanghai. I participated in the whole design and construction process of an office<br />
building, and I was responsible for conceptual design for another eight projects during that period. Later, I<br />
worked for MIXPACE as a project manager for one year. The company renovates old buildings and transforms<br />
them into co-working spaces. Here I participated in many projects and spent most of the time on construction<br />
site. In practice, architectural design is only a very small part in the life cycle of a project. It is crucial for me to<br />
learn and understand the whole system.<br />
In the beginning of <strong>2018</strong>, I started my Master’s at the University of Melbourne. Melbourne School of Design<br />
(MSD) offers me a wide range of studios and electives. It encourages me to study from bold conceptual design,<br />
tectonics and construction to theory of contemporary architecture and parametric design thinking. Studios in<br />
MSD use more than half of a semester for self-oriented research, thus requiring an intensive learning process<br />
and high proficiency in design modelling and representation. I am currently researching on wars and crimes<br />
against culture in the Middle East, including countries of Syria, Palestine, Israel and Lebanon, etc.<br />
