Introduction - Hanyan Chen

My name is Hanyan Chen from Deqing, China. I am an Architectural Engineering student concentrated in digital buildings. I was born and grew up in Deqing, a small town close to Shanghai but surrounded by mountains where there are a bunch of hostels and resorts. If you search Mogan Mountain, you will get bunch of nice pictures.

My first co-op experience was at the City of Philadelphia where i worked for city departments for space planning and small project management. Then i had my second co-op in Cushman & Wakefield in Shanghai, China. It is a real estate consulting company offering integrated solutions to landlords, tenants and investors. I worked as the assistant of the project manager to complete the project positioning and planning related work.

As grown up with my parents who are both architectural engineers in China, i got opportunities to see different houses built on the mountain. These houses are changing over the time and i have seen houses, such as the resorts, with considerate service by those attentive staffs. 

In my opinion, an intelligent building should make you feel living with a thoughtful housekeeper but there isn't anyone physically "live" with you. Or even you don't notice that the house is performed as a human to take care of your living environment.
