The projects presented in this section were completed during my professional architectural practice in China in collaboration with leading real estate developers and architectural design firms. Spanning a diverse range of building typologies—including sales centers, cafés, art galleries, residential developments, cultural institutions, and technology parks—these projects allowed me to engage in the entire architectural process, from conceptual design to construction and project completion. More importantly, they fundamentally shaped my understanding of the relationship between architecture and construction. Through years of architectural practice, I gradually realized that construction is not merely the execution of a completed design, but an inseparable part of the design process itself. The question of how design and construction can be fully integrated—allowing construction to inform, reshape, and ultimately become an active participant in design—has become the central focus of my research. Each completed project not only deepened my understanding of construction but also inspired new questions about how architecture is conceived, realized, and continuously refined through the act of building. Throughout these projects, I explored construction-oriented design challenges, including modular strategies for irregular façade systems, the realization of complex free-form geometries, and the integration of spatial, structural, and material systems to create coherent architectural experiences. Although these explorations emerged from professional practice, they were consistently driven by the same fundamental question: How can construction actively inform design, and how can design better respond to construction? These experiences ultimately motivated me to pursue Design Technology at Cornell University, where I began investigating how computational design, robotic fabrication, digital construction, and artificial intelligence could fundamentally redefine the relationship between design and construction. Rather than treating architecture as a sequence of independent stages, I became interested in developing integrated workflows in which design, fabrication, sensing, and intelligent decision-making operate as a unified system. This transition from architectural practice to research marked the beginning of my exploration into robotic fabrication, autonomous construction, and AI-driven design systems.
