What inspires you?
Finding order in apparent chaos.
What is the best part of your job?
Always getting to learn how things work. Whether it’s learning how different aspects of the project are run, digging into our software, or learning about construction sequencing and trade coordination, I continually get to learn more about how the world fits together.
What is the most important thing you’ve learned so far?
The people around me know more than I can imagine, and are almost always willing to share their knowledge.
The sky is the limit: if you could design or redesign anything, what would it be?
I’d like to design new software that helps us work more efficiently.
We`re wrapping up World Landscape Architecture Month with a peak into the design of the XiangYa Fifth Hospital at Central South University.
The XiangYa Fifth Hospital will provide a new world class model for the delivery of healthcare in China, accommodating over 100,000 patients a day and housing over 2,500 patient rooms. Nature is further embedded into the superstructure through gardens, courtyards, roof terraces, light monitors and generous windows that provide abundant natural light and frame views of the natural setting surrounding the building.
