    Honorable Mention in Architecture / Buildings

Rising like a mirrored monolith in Chicago, the tower reflects shifting light across its curved façade. Captured with a long exposure, the smooth surface of Lake Michigan contrasts with the building’s vertical rhythm, creating a dialogue between architectural precision and the natural shoreline.

I am an architectural designer specializing in sports and venue projects. I received my Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University. Alongside this professional role, I also pursue work in fine art, photography, and writing. My architectural projects have been recognized through international awards, while my artistic and photographic works have been exhibited and published in magazines in EU and NA. In addition, my writings have appeared in magazines in China, Korea, and the United States. I continue to develop these four areas in parallel, allowing them to inform and enrich one another.
