CHENG
Spatial design and emerging infrastructure
I am an MIT-trained architect and Senior Environmental Design Researcher with 8+ years of experience across architecture and the wider AEC sector.
Current work sits at the intersection of environmental design, urban analytics and digital development within a global nuclear and infrastructure engineering consultancy. Strengths include connecting spatial thinking, environmental systems, data and multidisciplinary delivery to shape clearer strategies, tools and project decisions.
Particularly interested in the development of physical AI, energy and climate infrastructure, and in how large technical systems can become coherent buildings, products and urban environments.
Cheng is currently a Senior Environmental Researcher at AtkinsRéalis Research & Innovation, contributing to environmental design, urban analytics, strategic research, and digital innovation across building and infrastructure contexts. His work has been exhibited internationally at the Venice Architecture Biennale, the MIT Center for Art, the National Gallery of Art in Lithuania, and the Taipei Fine Arts Museum.
He holds an SMArchS in Architecture and Urbanism from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a Business Analytics Certificate from MIT Sloan School of Management, and a Bachelor of Architecture from Tunghai University.
