Teaching Aspirations

"Climate change demands a paradigm shift in design education. I am committed to constructing and enhancing pedagogical frameworks that leverage on inter-disciplinary enquiry and holistic thinking, underpinned by environmental literacy. This will empower students with the appropriate values and capabilities in making a difference to our collective future."

Teaching Strengths

  • Connects design thinking with technical thinking as a skill set for students to develop design ideas that are intellectually challenging and technically imaginative
  • Creates an engaging problem-based learning journey that yields the construction of knowledge and concepts through an iterative process of reflecting on problem-solving experiences
  • Translates pertinent issues of sustainability into the focus of design exploration, facilitating students to invent appropriate architectural prototypes
  • Devises learning themes in study trips for students to frame issues and direct enquiries for seeking insights and new perspectives
  • Maximises the different learning strengths of students to bring out the best in them
