As an architect and urban designer, Brian Lee considers himself a pragmatist in search of the poetic. A fundamental question that guides his work is how a building’s aesthetics, program, and tectonics can provide meaning to those who live and work in its spaces. His hands-on design approach is focused on achieving full integration of the natural and built environment through the most innovative design forms, materials, and technologies.
Lee’s award-winning designs include the Tianjin CTF Finance Center in Tianjin, the China World Trade Center in Beijing, Poly International Plaza in Guangzhou and the UC San Diego Telemedicine Education Building.
