I recently completed my studies from the Architectural Association Design Research Laboratory (AADRL) and expect to receive my degree in April 2018. My academic work was grounded on agent-based-design, which was related to machine learning, and interactive, transformative architecture. My professional work was about urban and architectural residential renovation in China.
