Personal profile
Jiawen Han teaches multiple levels of design studio, as well as architectural theory. Jiawen holds a PhD in architecture from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, and she is the author of the book entitled Chinas Architecture in a Globalizing World: Between Socialism and the Market. Her multicultural experience allows her to see the architecture through multiple lenses, balances what may seem like irreconcilable values, and detects the potential innovations emerging from the new architectures and urban conditions in Asian cities. Her research interests range from new architecture and architects in China to spatial development in relation to modernity and the production of modern space.My book can be downloaded via the link belowhttps://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-mono/10.4324/9780203712672/china-architecture-globalizing-world-socialism-market-jiawen-hanI welcome Ph.D. applicants who want to study contemporary Chinese architecture.
