About 

I am an architect. I love parametric and computational design. To me the update of design tools means not only higher efficiency, but also an evolution of methodology. As new design tools emerge at a dazzling speed, I try to keep up with the ideas that stands behind all these changes. I believe the power of innovation lies largely in the integration of human creativity and tool application.
