Brief description

Established in Hong Kong and Shanghai, Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects (ALYA) works to improve the built-environment in an honest, meaningful and sustainable way. Equipped with global perspective and local know-how, we believe that sound research forms the basis for intelligent design, and through design excellence we add value to our clients and to the society-at-large. Our design portfolio includes the acclaimed Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art (Shanghai MoCA), the “Han River Renaissance” — a series of pedestrian tunnels in Seoul, Korea, high-end residential interiors in Hong Kong, storage and manufacturing facility in the Pearl River Delta, and most recently a set of kiosks design for Shanghai’s Nanjing Road Pedestrian District.

Liu Yuyang: Born in Taiwan, Mr. Liu received his M. Arch from Harvard and B. A. from UC San Diego. As a graduate student, Liu coauthored with Rem Koolhaas the “Great Leap Forward”, a book on the Urbanization of the Pearl River Delta, China. Having held a number of professional and teaching positions in the US and Hong Kong, Liu now heads his Shanghai-based Atelier Liu Yuyang Architects. Liu is an architectural advisor for the Shanghai Qingpu Goverment, teaches at the University of Hong Kong, and was invited to curate the 2007 Shenzhen-Hong Kong Biennale on Urbanism/Architecture as well as the 2011 Chengdu Biennale International Architectural Exhibition.
