ABOUT OUR GUEST

Guest:

Liang Jingyu(principal architect, Approach Architecture Studio, Beijing)

The architectural philosophy of Approach Architecture Studio is decidedly non-traditional: the firm uses architecture as an instrument to make fine adjustments to society, without neglecting poetic expression. In his UCCA appearance, Mr. Jingyu Liang, principal architect of Approach Architecture Studio, will share his firm’s philosophy, experience and practice.

Liang Jingyu, the principal architect of Approach Architecture Studio, Beijing, was born in 1969 in Jiangxi Province, China. He received his B. Eng. degree in architecture from Tianjin University in 1991. In 2005, Liang Jingyu participated in the International Biennale of Architecture and Design in San Paolo, Brazil. His work was selected for the China Contemporary Exhibition (Architecture, Design and Visual Culture) in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in 2006. Liang is also a computer artist who worked at Electronic Arts (EA) from 2000-2002 designing video games. He lived and worked as an architect in Montreal and Vancouver, Canada, from 1996 to 2002.
