With contribution from conceptual design to construction, Nan has played a pivotal role in key ZHA projects, including Infinitus Plaza in Guangzhou and the CECEP Shanghai Campus. Her expertise covers various building typologies, including headquarters, residential, office, retail, and cultural complexes. She is currently leading the Jinghe New City Culture & Art Centre in Xi’an. In the Beijing office, Nan has organised workshops targeting the Chinese market and established the office’s material library.

Prior to ZHA, Nan worked as a landscape architect at Shanghai Tongji Urban Planning & Design Institute, contributing to projects such as the Sunrise Kempinski Hotel in Beijing.

Nan received her Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Design with distinction from Tongji University in Shanghai and her Master of Architecture from the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL). She has participated in juries at Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology and contributed to ZHA exhibitions, including The New World exhibition at the Guardian Art Centre in Beijing. 

Nan believes architecture transcends technology and skills. Great architecture should communicate emotion to create meaningful spaces. Outside of work, she enjoys Chinese dance, yoga, piano, and theatre.
