Lin Shan En
RIBA Part 2 Graduate
My undergraduate studies at Taylor’s University shaped my architectural perspective, in how I appreciate more the intention behind a project, instead of a particular style that defines the architect. To me, understanding others’ needs, and translating them into my architecture, brings more joy than creating an architecture that tells strongly about my personal style. A browse into my portfolio works will witness totally different form and style, but all driven by similar approaches.
​
My postgraduate studies at Manchester School of Architecture in the ateliers &rchitecture and PRAXXIS provided me the chance to unlearn and relearn ways to practice architecture. By focusing what is enabled by architecture: events, sets of relation; other than the architectural object itself, I pride myself for viewing architecture as a discipline of knowledge and a process of cultural production.
