HONORS AND AWARDS Oct.2011, Chinese Student Garden Landscape Design Competition As the team leader, awarded the Honorary Award
September 15, 2014 To Whom It May Concern: Zhehao Yu was my student at the University of Southern California in the Master of Landscape Architecture program. I served as the chair of his Directed Research Committee and worked closely with him in his final year in the USC MLA program. Zhehao (Boris) has mastered many skills of design research and representation. He has developed an ability to work with two dimensional and three dimensional design tools, and can produce animations to provide experiential representation of places. Zhehao is an enthusiastic designer who is not intimidated by scale. In his final project he developed conceptual schemes for large urban districts and humanly scaled spaces with an attention to their social value and potential environmental benefits. It is my pleasure to act as a reference for Zhehao Yu. I would be happy to provide additional information if required. Sincerely,
