To Whom It May Concern: I am pleased to provide a recommendation for him Daofu (Victor) Lu. Victor joined the studio in mid2017, bringing a fresh arsenal of design capabilities including parametric design, digital fabrication and visualization that really enhanced the studio’s portfolio. He was also an impressive learner and adapter – one prime example being him joining the studio with no prior experience in Lumion software, but quickly became the studio’s top visualization expert utilizing Lumion and other software platforms. He has also proven to be a natural problem solver who can always come up with intuitive design solutions to complex problems. All of the projects that Victor worked on, improved immensely with his care, attention, and creativity. During his time at Fletcher Studio, Victor has participated and led a number of unique, high profile and community focused projects, from concept to construction administration phases. A selection of hese include:
+ Better Place Forests – Spreading forest cemeteries in California.
+ Central Waterfront Public Realm Plan – Planning and Urban design guidelines for Dogpatch and Potrero Hill in San Francisco.
Donald Bates LFRAIA, FRIBA,
+ 22nd St Caltrain Station Gateway – A plaza that he designed and saw to completion.
Director of LAB Architecture Studio,
+ CCA - Student housing as well as numerous other commercial housing projects.
Chair of Architectural Design, Associate Dean (Engagement) @ MSD

RESIDENCY STATUS

As a mid-sized studio made up by a group of multi-talented individuals, Victor is no exception. He has contributed to a number of major rebranding and marketing efforts, demonstrating his talents outside of the expertise of landscape architecture. On behalf of the entire Fletcher Studio team, we are sad to bid farewell to Victor as he leaves San Francisco Bay Area. I strongly believe his many wonderful personal qualities and the experience he has gained in the US will make him an invaluable asset to any design firms in Australia and aboard. I offer you my highest recommendation for Victor.Please contact me if you require any further information. Best,
David Fletcher, Principal + Owner ASLA, RLA #5377
