Zihua Mo

Zihua Mo is a 2023 Master of Architecture graduate from the Weitzman School of Design. Prior to Penn, Zihua received a Bachelor of Engineering with a major in Urban and Rural Planning from Shenzhen University in China. His experience at Penn has given Zihua a fresh perspective on the meaning, form, and details of architecture. With a multidisciplinary background, he believes that architecture possesses a power greater than itself and has the ability to broadly reshape the environment. Much of his work explores the concept of synthetic nature.
Zihua views the role of a designer as bringing life to lifeless materials and sees his architecture as individual characters.
