Nicholas Phan

I recently finished my Master degree at the University of Newcastle with 6.1 GPA. I showed a strong drive, self-motivation and an intense passion for innovative design. I also take pride in my ability of hand sketching, model making, and using AutoCAD, SketchUp, Vray in 3dsMax and Photoshop. Throughout my studies, I have developed skills in research, design strategy and a high capacity for aesthetic resolution. My final project explores the philosophy of duality of life to analysis and design architecture. Learning from the opposing spatial qualities of technology and spirituality in abandoned cooling towers, my design begins with finding the answer for the question which is how to design an architecture for both social activity and spiritual experience although the former is very extrovert while the latter is more introvert.
