Background

About Chang Chen

From a young age, I have been captivated by architecture—the balance of form, light, and structure. My passion lies in designing spaces that embody clarity, simplicity, and purpose. Inspired by I. M. Pei’s precision and Tadao Ando’s poetic use of concrete and light, I aspire to create architecture that is both timeless and structurally profound. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, I have engaged in research and teaching at the intersection of architecture and structural engineering. My experience at Klein & Hoffman allowed me to apply my skills in AutoCAD, Revit, and Adobe Suite to support architectural design. Blending engineering logic with artistic vision, I strive to craft spaces that are not just built, but felt. Committed to innovation and sustainability, I aim to enhance the built environment and improve communities through thoughtful design.
