Tina Chee is an architect, landscape architect, educator, and a native of Los Angeles with over 30 years of experience in the built environment in urban design, landscape, and architecture. She has worked with Frank Gehry, Norman Foster, and Renzo Piano on a diverse range of significant projects that have had a transformative impact on the environment; projects such as the transformation of the Brooklyn Atlantic Rail Yards in New York, the urban renewal of Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, and the University of Petronas in the Malaysian jungle. Through these key projects, the value of open space and need for environmental systems became equally her mission. She draws from her in-depth experience to create dynamic synergies between buildings, site and environmental systems that fosters a holistic and symbiotic project approach for regenerative processes and social equality. An astute observer and critical thinker deeply committed to the issues of cities, she strives to find connection and meaning that furthers an environmental and social agenda with a formal and spatial one.
