GRACE HUNG ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO 2004 -2008

I am strongly interested in art and design. I always strive for new and unique designs through continuous exploration and development. I am interested in community-involved projects and I believe that a good architectural design must consider about its site context and users.

The programs that I used for the works in this portfolio include Rhinoceros, 3d Studio Max, Photoshop, Illustrator, AutoCAD and Flash.
