Ziyang Xu

I am currently working at HKS, and worked at PES Architects, David Chipperfield Architects, Mecanoo Architecten, and SOM. I have a diverse career spanning architectural firms across Asia, Europe, and the United States. From my early academic years, I have been committed to the transformative power of architecture, recognizing its impact on human experiences, spatial and temporal dimensions, and problem-solving capabilities. This commitment has guided my ongoing practice and experimentation.My portfolio includes extensive involvement in renovation and extension projects worldwide. I believe these strategies are vital for sustainably extending the life cycle of buildings and enhancing the dynamic relationship between architecture and the public realm.I have extensive experience in winning international design awards, such as Red Dot Awards, IDA Awards; and winning prizes in various architectural design competitions. My experience guiding students and delivering lectures allows me to provide insightful, constructive feedback, making me an excellent jury candidate.
