WenQi Ng

Wen Qi is drawn to architecture for its multidisciplinary nature; she is inspired by the everyday and believes that a thirst for knowledge and learning - both within and beyond the design space - builds towards her creative endeavours as an architectural designer.

Her award-winning graduating thesis was inspired by her stint in California, where an appreciation for California’s natural landscape and a summer course on ecology has led her to focus her final year study on the topic of wildfire resilience, where she explored the relationship between resilience, architectural design and the natural environment.

Wen Qi’s education and experiences have led her to develop a passion for sustainable design, where she believes in architecture’s impact on future proofing the relationship between nature and our built environment.
