Alex Ching-Chen Liu
Alex Ching-Chen Liu (he/him) is a Taiwanese registered architect currently pursuing the Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design at Columbia University GSAPP.Building upon a solid foundation in architectural practice, his work approaches architecture as an act of integration—engaging urban context, site history, and environmental conditions to reorganize the relationships between built space and human activity. Prior to joining GSAPP, he worked as a senior architectural designer at JJP Architects + Planners, one of Taiwan’s leading firms, contributing to projects including industrial adaptive reuse, office complexes, and university laboratory buildings. Through both built and speculative work, he continues to explore architecture as a tool for addressing environmental and social issues.
Beyond architectural practice, he actively explores graphic and visual approaches to representing design ideas. Through drawing, photography, publications, and mixed media, he continues to challenge conventional modes of architectural representation.
