My name is 袁伯阳 Boyang Yuan, an architect who is still exploring his future direction; a thinker who likes to interpret the world in his own language; an INTP-T who looks slightly withdrawn because of his cynicism; a dreamer who is not good at expressing himself; a silent questioner who always tries to solve problems on his own.

I got my Bachelor Degree in Zhejiang University in 2015 and Master Degree in Pratt Institute in 2023. Time inbetween, I worked for China Construction Northwest Design & Research Institute, DFA Architecture Design Studio and as a freelance designer. Therefore, I have a lot of experience working with famouse architecutral firms, teams and individuals, like Woodsbagot, PTW, MAD and so on.

Those work experiences have benefited me a lot, but they also prompted me to go back to campus, because my instinct has led to a series questions during that period. Who am I designing for? What is an architect? Why should I become an architect? What kind of architect do I want to be? (Thank you professor Thomas Lesser for asking these questions again.) They haven’t been addressed yet, but I still have my whole career life to figure them out.
