Kenneth, Cheung Shiu LunMAS ETH DFAB / M.Arch(Dist) HKU / BA(ArchS) HKUBiographyKenneth Cheung is an artist as well as an architectural designer who is dedicated to design methods and technolo-gies related to computational design and researches. The main design focus would be their expressed implementa-tion in parametric architecture and practical construction.Kenneth graduated with Master from the University of Hong Kong, where he received HKSAR Government Schol-arship Fund, Wong Tung & Partners Scholarship and Professor K.C. Lye Design Prizes in Architecture. His researchon the possibilities of computational and ornamental design has earned him the distinction honor in the Master ofArchitecture.After equipping with two-years of postgraduate practical experience, In 2015, Kenneth further his studies in thedigital and parametric design for architectural fabrication in Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (ETHZ),Switzerland. Currently, Kenneth is one of the 17 graduates under the chair of digital fabrication by Prof. FabioGramazio and Matthias Kohler.
