Of all the possible paths, I unexpectedly chose architecture after the college entrance exam, embarking on a completely new journey. Often, I felt lost and anxious. Despite my best efforts, my designs rarely received approval from my tutors, frequently earning very low scores. However, persistent designing and thinking gradually allowed me to grasp the essence of architecture. After four years of undergraduate study, I am now studying Architectural Computation at the Bartlett School of Architecture. The clash between traditional design thinking and computational approaches has greatly benefited me. I hope to pursue a PhD in the future. Thank you for taking the time to view my story and some interesting projects. Have fun.
