BELLA LUM ARCHITECTURAL GRADUATE I am a postgraduate student completing my fifth year at Victoria University of Wellington. My master’s thesis investigates high-density housing and outdoor living. During my last year, I have been exploring my interest in the possibilities and complexities of urban space. My focus has been on rethinking urban and residential spaces to support wellbeing. I am very eager to take the next step in my career and begin developing my learning into practice for real-world clients. b.r.lum@outlook.com
