Nick Cheung Email & Phone Number

Growing up sharing my time between Iowa and New York, the contrast between the Midwest natural landscape and lively urban cityscape fostered a deep curiosity for the constant negotiations between us, nature, and the built environment. Experiencing how local contexts shape design decisions, I have developed a passion for examining the dialogue between humans and the built and natural environments, particularly within the urban condition. Coming from two Chinese immigrant parents, values of integrity, accountability, cooperation, and determination strengthen my ambition and passion for creative storytelling through mediums like architecture and design. I am currently in my fifth year of the BArch program at Iowa State University, supplementing this education with minors in sustainability and entrepreneurial studies. Most of my education examines social and spatial dialogues between people, nature, and the built environment in various contexts. As a creative, driven, and detail-oriented individual, I have taken the initiative to deepen these explorations through my experiences as the Co-President of NOMAS and work in undergraduate research to analyze how urban spaces influence pro-social behaviors. Outside of architecture, I engage my passion for storytelling as an aspiring musician, engaged traveler, and community leader. As I continue to develop my design sensibility, I look forwards to pursuing opportunities to collaborate and create with other creative thinkers in my journey as an eloquent storyteller and ambitious visionary.
