Dr I-Ting Chuang

BArch (Hons) MDes (Harvard) PhD (SUTD)  |  Lecturer

I-Ting’s current research interests focus on design informatics in urban geography, emphasizing data analytics and the spatial quality of public spaces. Her research leverages large geolocated datasets’ potential in understanding the complexity of our contemporary urban environment. She has practiced Architecture and Urban Design in renowned firms in New York and Taiwan while embarking on her academic career focused on architecture design research and studio curriculum in Taiwan. She has also been an active member in Taiwan’s public sector design advisory panels for Urban Design, Campus Planning, and Landscape committee.
