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).

Fall 2023
Arctic Brewscape is an innovative architectural project in Iceland which seamlessly blends local culture with modern amenities. The key design elements include an asymmetrical sloped roof inspired by local needs and serving both practical and aesthetic purposes. 

The modular column grid (6m x 6m) allows for scalability and adaptability, ensuring future development without compromising structural integrity. The use of local materials, such as basaltic ash for spa tubs and wood/concrete for construction, enhances regional authenticity and thermal insulation. The project celebrates Icelandic culture by fusing traditional and modern design elements, creating a unique and immersive experience for visitors. 

Arctic Brewscape is more than a building; it is an embodiment of Iceland's spirit, offering a landmark destination for beer festivals, brewery tours, and winter spa sessions. The name "Arctic Brewscape" shows its picturesque and harmonious blend of culture and modernity.
