Hi, my name is Yuandao

I see architecture as a comprehensive subject that aims to solve a series of contextual problems for users by implementing corresponding design strategies. All the history courses I have taken in the past years made me realize the importance of historical, environmental, and social context when dealing with architectural design. I have always paid extra time to site analysis including research in history, demographics, transportation, and environmental conditions. I always try to put my feet in the shoes of my audiences and attempt to think about what the raw user experience is from a first-person perspective. The analytical work is not only essential for me as preparation but also the key effort that continues throughout the entire design process, which helps me to think critically and to design for moments, design for experiences.

I’m a little bit perfectionist, but I enjoy the creative process.
