ABOUT
 

As a graduating Year 3 BA Architecture student at the Manchester School of Architecture with previous work experience at Arup Hong Kong, Lead8, Cybertecture and an Architectural & 3D modeller at a Swedish Real Estate Develop, Hermann has gained solid experiences in fields relating to TOD developments, residential, office towers and public buildings. He has also previously participated and led the entire mixed-used project's facade in a major-winning TOD project in Xi'an China. 

​

Hermann is very passionate about human-centric and fluid design in architecture that concerns the connectivity and continuity of our built environment. His design philosophy also reconsiders architecture as catalysts to bring enhanced social, environmental and economic values to our high-density urban environments, ultimately designing a better life that is resilient and robust to our future. He believes that Architecture is very much about change that relates to designing structures that adopts the growing changes in the environment and societal needs and importantly how our designs change our inhabitant’s behavior and attitude. 

 

Moreover, he is extremely committed to using enthusiasm and passion along with creative media to convey compelling stories, systematic identities, immersive environments, in turn altering how the audience think, feel and act and ultimately delivering a meaningful and unique experience to his audience.
