Research Fields

• Thermodynamics Ecological Architecture/ High-rise Building Complex

Research Profile

• Professor Linxue Li tries to establish his architectural teaching, research, practice and international exchange based on a definite theory system. The main stream of theory lies on the basis of studying for thermodynamics ecological system, exploring for the new paradigms of interaction between energy and architectural noumenon, and the carrier of urban high-rise complex building topology. He tries to become one of the most important participants of the ecological architectural research and the contemporary urban architecture research through the collaboration with the advanced teams such as GSD Harvard University. Meanwhile, as the principal of ATELIER L+, TJAD, he has been responsible for many influential projects such as Hangzhou Civic Center, Sichuan International Tennis Center, and ect. under the strategy of practice as “systematic construction”. Through winning of nearly twenty awards at home and abroad, and participating in many exhibitions and forums, he has become one the important interpreters for the Chinese contemporary architecture.
