Background

About Richard Luu

Hello, I'm an architectural designer and art producer based in Los Angeles and recently graduated with a Master’s of Architecture degree from University of Southern California. I hold degrees in Art History/Conservation and Criminology from University of California, Irvine. From 2016 to 2020, I served as a project manager and producer in Kyoto, Japan, collaborating with renowned Japanese visual and sound artist Ryoji Ikeda. I oversaw and managed performances and exhibitions at esteemed international venues such as The Paris Opera (FR), Centre Pompidou (FR), Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo (JP), the 2019 Venice Biennale (IT), and the United Artists Theatre (US). I have a fondness for photography, graphic design, acrylic/watercolor painting, and digital illustration. Complementing my personal interests, my professional journey has naturally cultivated a deep fascination with the interplay of light and sound. I continuously integrate this passion into my design approach, and love to explore aesthetic intricacies of transparencies and reflections, as well as the nuanced relationships between shadow and acoustics within the built environment.
