Shan’s passion for architecture and design traces back to a childhood fascination, a journey that began in China with an undergraduate degree in Agricultural Economics and Management, and a minor in Interior Design. This academic foundation paved the way for further exploration in the United States, where Shan pursued a master’s in architecture at the SAIC, complemented by a certificate in historical preservation. Shan views architecture as a field rich with charm and endless possibilities, believing that every project offers a new perspective on the world and an opportunity to solve problems innovatively. With a deep-seated interest in fostering a harmonious relationship between people, their environments, and history, Shan aims to contribute to projects that push the boundaries of design and sustainability while respecting and integrating historical contexts. This ambition underscores a commitment to ensuring that our architectural legacy enriches future generations, reflecting a profound dedication to the craft.
