FANG (FRANK) SUN



Fang (Frank) Sun graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree from the University of Virginia, distinguished by an insatiable enthusiasm for the intersection of architecture, artificial intelligence, and digital fabrication.

After completing a four-year program and a year of practical experience, he has immersed himself in developing sustainable and resilient design solutions through robotics and digital fabrication. With a minor in computer science, he explores AI, computational methodologies, and adaptive modeling.

His current work focuses on rapid housing reconstruction for natural disasters, utilizing 3D printing, robotics, and automation to enhance efficiency, optimize material usage, and improve structural resilience.

Now pursuing dual master’s degrees in Architecture and Science in Design: Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) at the University of Pennsylvania, he continues to blend technical expertise, creative vision, and innovation to advance digital fabrication and resilient design, while currently working as a Research Assistant in the Polyhedral Structures Laboratory (PSL).

10 Bamboo Valley - A Renovation Project to Find the Beauty in Nanjing Ancient Town by Hand Sketch
Instructor: Huan Sun

Personal Work

Individual Work  
Winter 2020
This project aims to create a small pavilion adjacent to a historic residential area known for its rich cultural heritage. The surrounding high-walled courtyards generate an urban fabric reminiscent of a village within the city, leading to a chaotic and crowded street experience.

However, upon entering these courtyards, a serene and calming atmosphere emerges through the delicate interplay of architectural forms and spatial relationships. My design for the pavilion seeks to recreate this experience by employing spatial strategies and design techniques that evoke a sense of winding, tranquil curiosity.
