We aim to work with people who possess strong architectural design abilities. We look for students who have an aptitude to combine theory and practice in work in China and in the larger world. In the process of both inheriting past approaches and innovating new ones, students can be taught to bring together many fields. They can harmoniously combine research abilities from different disciplines while putting various practical and technical skills to use.
