Yao Lu

I am overwhelmed by architecture-not which is a major, but as a standpoint to see, engage, and wonder about the universe. Architecture is also an approach, which is quite powerful in its ability to question and affect daily life. It is an idea, a narrative, and a cultural symbol brought out through the mediation of societal conditions. Methods of synthesis are things I am fascinated with; I connect them to other discourses, hence, sketching, building, and thinking are inseparable in my mind. My own way of thinking is that designing is a process that is both personal and thorough, something that you accomplish only if you have a deep sense of responsibility. My respect for deadlines is absolute, and I always stick to the work I am doing with full concentration, curiosity, and of course, reliability. My dream is to grow in a place where the focus will be on experimenting, observation, and the closely intertwined design and society, using architecture as a tool to ask significant questions through the spatial relationships it builds.
