About Jack
[Education and Work Experience]
-Master of Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley (UCB)
-Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies from HKU (1st Hon.)
+5 years of professional experience working at Starchitecture firms, including
- Snøhetta, OMA , Kengo Kuma
- Currently working as an Architect in Kengo Kuma
[Teaching Experience]
Teaching Assistant at UC Berkeley, where I co-taught architectural design studios and construction courses for over 100 graduate and undergraduate students, with experience in lecturing and serving as a studio critic.
- Teaching Assistant for ARCH 260 (Graduate Construction), ARCH 160 (Undergraduate Construction)
- Studio Instructor for DISC: Design + Innovation for Sustainable Cities, Guest Critic for ARCH 100C
My professional experience spans a wide range of scales and typologies, including private residences, pavilions, educational and cultural buildings, as well as large-scale mixed-use developments, towers, and urban planning projects. Through working across Japan, the United States, and Hong Kong, I have developed a strong understanding of leading international architectural practices academically and professionally.
Personally, I see architecture and design as more than just a creative practice — they shape the way we live, experience space, and connect with our environment. That, to me, is what makes it super meaningful.
I’d love to help you with any challenges you’re facing in school or work, so you can enjoy learning design and grow with confidence. Most importantly, let’s enjoy the process together!
