Tianyang Sun

Tianyang Sun is a registered architect in Massachusetts and a SMArchS Urbanism candidate at MIT. He has built and wants to build independently. 

He works with cities and buildings, fabrics and objects, drawings and images. Originally from Shenzhen, China, Tianyang pursued B.Arch at the Cooper Union in New York City, where he received the AIA Medal for Academic Excellence upon graduation. His professional experiences at MOS Architects and NADAAA have helped him continue the discursive latitude with focus on construction practices. The various civic typologies he worked on, from footbridges to art museums, from historic houses to planning of districts, have drawn him into the scales and publicness of urbanism. 

In additional to serving on design studio and thesis reviews at Cooper, he co-taught a 4th-year urban design studio on the Boston portion of the I-90 highway. He wants to continue teaching at and after MIT.
