Zhaoxiong Han is an architectural designer at Gensler’s Los Angeles office. His work spans core and shell office buildings, workplace, education, and adaptive reuse projects, with a particular interest in how architecture can renew existing contexts while forming meaningful cultural and spatial relationships.

In addition to practice, Zhaoxiong contributes to the broader architectural community as a juror for international competitions such as TerraViva and Archiol, where he brings a critical perspective to evaluating emerging design ideas. His ongoing engagement in design discourse allows him to remain attentive to evolving cultural and environmental questions and to participate in shaping the conversations that define contemporary architectural practice.

Alastair is an architect at Gensler in Los Angeles, where he leads the design of education and community-focused projects at the office. He has a keen interest in advocating for a more resilient built environment that can enable new ways for all people to live, learn, play, and work more sustainably. A key part of this advocacy is supporting the next generation of architects and designers as they seek to forge a path for themselves in this crucial work. Alastair has taught architecture at Woodbury University, is a frequent critic on local university juries, is a regular NCARB committee member focused on the future of practice, and runs the internal project presentation platform at Gensler Los Angeles, which is focused on giving more junior team members the chance to present their work.

Dingdong Tang is an award-winning architectural designer, Project Coordinator and BIM Lead at Corgan, and Founder & Principal of LYT-X Studio. He holds an M.Arch from the University of Southern California. At Corgan, he leads BIM strategy and cross-disciplinary coordination for large, mission-critical, next-generation AI campuses, setting standards that align design ambition with resilience, energy performance, and sustainability. His design philosophy holds that architecture is most powerful when it is context-specific—each site calling for a spatial language that honors cultural, environmental, and historical narratives.

Advancing a performative and adaptive approach, Tang champions parametric design, computational strategies, and AI-assisted workflows to translate data, behavior, and human experience into spaces with clarity and consequence. Through LYT-X Studio, he leads interdisciplinary work in heritage revitalization, urban regeneration, adaptive reuse, and cultural/public architecture—treating technology not as an aesthetic end but as a generative medium that amplifies site-specificity, programmatic coherence, and emotional impact. He continues to push the boundaries of design through interdisciplinary research and experimentation, fostering architecture that is responsive, inclusive, and visionary.

Previously at Yazdani Studio of CannonDesign, he advanced a sustainability-driven practice; a highlighted project—the Caltech Resnick Sustainability Center—achieved LEED Platinum and multiple honors. His work has earned Red Dot, IDA Architectural Design of the Year (2024), AIA, and Architizer A+ awards, and has been exhibited internationally, including NYCxDesign and the Red Dot Design Museum. Across research and practice, he grounds advanced technologies in memory, context, and imagination to create sustainable, future-oriented environments.

Liem My Tran is an architectural designer whose work centers on regenerative, high-performance environments shaped by cultural context and ecological sensitivity, social equity and technological innovation. Trained across Vietnam, Honolulu, Seattle, and Los Angeles, she brings a cross-cultural, place-responsive perspective to projects ranging from research laboratories to institutional, cultural and civic infrastructure, and mixed-use environments.

Her practice encompasses architectural design, building systems coordination, façade and envelope performance, fabrication, and sustainable strategies, with a focus on integrating technical rigor and design clarity. Liem weaves systems thinking with conceptual exploration to craft resilient, holistic spaces that uplift communities—whether in dense urban centers or under-resourced regions where thoughtful design supports enduring growth.
