personal statement experiences made me obtain inspirational thoughts and principles of aesthetics, and reinforced my desire to further study architecture.
My academic interests, purpose, objectives and motivation. Making design from scratch into reality has given me a great sense of achievement, and I am always fascinated by the amazing results architecture can bring. To me, architecture should combine art and technology through creation and design as well as reflection of the local cultural characteristics. However, when I worked as an assistant architect at Zhongtai United Design Co., Ltd, sometimes, due to time and cost constraints, sponsors would ask us to find a similar drawing from a standardized gallery and use it directly. The design on the drawing did not fully match the conditions of the specific site. This was not real design. When I gave my opinion, others often did not take it seriously. And I could not think of a better solution at times. This experience made me clearly realize what a real architect should do and my weakness in architectural design. Therefore, I make up my mind to enhance my skill set to become an RIBA architect and design buildings with cultural, economic and sustainable effects. In this regard, the Architecture, Master of (ARB/RIBA Part 2) at the University of Edinburgh is the ideal choice. My five-year undergraduate programme in Architecture at Sichuan Agricultural University has enabled me to gain insight and expertise in architecture and architectural design. I completed the programme in June 2020 with an excellent academic performance. Courses I have taken there, such as Sketch Practice, Architectural Drawing, and Color, improved my sketching, drawing and designing skills, which would lay a solid foundation for my postgraduate study. Through visits to several countries, I was immersed in their rich architectural environment and architectures of various styles, like the implication of Japanese style and mystery of gothic style. The wisdom and craftsmanship embedded in these architectures broadened my horizon and gave me an international perspective on designing buildings. My
My undergraduate study and internship experiences prompted me to apply for the MFA Art, Space and Nature, and I have been accepted. Due to the epidemic, I deferred my offer to 2021 entry. However, I was told the MFA programme was suspended and I needed to choose another one. As I mentioned briefly above, my work experience has taught me the difference between me and a real architect. To further study architecture and continue learning concepts and techniques of architectural design, I am eager to apply for the Architecture, Master of (ARB/RIBA Part 2). The dynamic and innovative programme of the Architecture, Master of (ARB/ RIBA Part 2) at the University of Edinburgh offers many advanced-level research exercises and architectural design projects, thus I can gain solid professional competencies and acquire practical abilities. After graduation, I will further try to get a doctorate, and plan to visit more countries to learn their architectural cultures and characteristics. I aim to become a qualified architect and contribute my design to improving people’s lives.
Relevant Knowledge/Training Skills. To build on my undergraduate study and enhance my understanding of architectural design, I am currently working as an assistant architect at Zhongtai United Design Co., Ltd, where I mainly participate in 11 bidding design and land acquisition projects, and four actual construction projects, draw architectural design drawings, and lead and coordinate the work progress of multiple departments, coordinate projects with government planning department and received sponsors. This experience allowed me to put my professional knowledge into practice, and more importantly, it made me understand that I needed to deepen my study in architecture.

The Design of Kunlun Observatory 04/2019 - 08/2019
In 2018, I worked in Sichuan Jingwei Line Architectural Design Co., Ltd. for nearly 2 months, where I was mainly responsible for drawing building construction drawings (basement and office area), and contacting engineering depar tments for engineering problems. There I got a rare opportunity to be involved in an actual construction project, the gymnasium project. As an intern, I helped to draw CAD drawings, communicate with construction drawing teams, conduct field surveys and record data with designers, and do some basic design like arranging the toilet, bathroom and non-load-bearing walls. The software I learned at school was different from the software I needed at work. However, through learning from my colleagues and self-learning I mastered two kinds of software, including T-Arch and Rhino within two weeks. To complete the design within a month, we gave up almost all our recreational activities, and even stayed up all night sometimes. This experience taught me the design ability and working attitude that a designer should have, and improved my understanding and perspective in design. When preparing for my portfolio, I have made some progress in architectural design. For example, when working on the 2nd project about the landscape design in Mexico City, I focused on the protection of victims of domestic violence and the education of children. I set up domestic violence shelters of different sizes and functions and scattered them throughout the design area. In addition, through the establishment of elementary education schools and adult education and training schools, I hoped to solve the poverty problem in slums from a deep level. Through this project, I gradually understood that the function and shape of the building largely depended on what the building served and the problems that needed to be solved; the design that could solve the actual problems was the most suitable one. This experience has consolidated and improved my knowledge of construction economics and building materials.

Project Introduction Most domestic violence is caused by the lack of protection for women and children and the lack of corresponding basic education. This project attempts to star t with the widespread domestic violence in the slums of Mexico, based on a continuously expanding slum in the southwest of Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. It focuses on the shelter of domestic violence and basic education schools in the unit community, and explores the effective solutions for the future slum reconstruction plan.

The glass roof of the building is designed based on the stability principle of triangles. The stressed frame is designed with numerous triangles connected to each other, and the weight is divided equally into each supporting structure. At the same time, the two-layer steel structure design is adopted, the main load-bearing frame is made of low-alloy high-strength structural steel, and the secondary load-bearing frame is made of carbon structural steel, which can reduce the weight of the frame to the minimum without affecting the bearing capacity.

The project is located in toltuya Island, 10km southeast of bimir port. The island is an uninhabited island, but because of its unique half moon shape, it has become one of the best destinations for surfers and swimmers.
