Fan Yang
I am an architectural designer currently based in New York, and I’m from Xiamen, China. I earned my M.Arch degree at Yale School of Architecture, and my B.Arch degree from Carnegie Mellon University. I’ve worked at Kohn Pedersen Fox, in both NY and SH office for 6 years, with experience spanning different stages of architectural practice, from concept design through schematic and design development, documentation, tender and CA.
Personally, I value architecture as experience and carriers of meaning. My hometown Xiamen is a mild coastal city in SE China, which was a former international settlement (Kulangsu). Its elegant old mansions, winding lanes, along with its fascinating history, have great impacts on me since childhood, and have convinced me of living environment’s potential to enrich life with poetry and dignity.
