About
Kao Min-Han Taiwan / Taipei
I am a MArch1 student. After completing my bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering in 2015, I studied at Tamkang Institute of Architecture in 2017. For me, Architecture is the best design result under limited conditions. It means that there is no standard answer to“design”, which is different from the past learning experience, and also the reason why I am deeply attracted. Working carefully and patiently, I always pursue the better quality of the works. How to balance time and completeness is a topic I have always studied. And I am glad that Architecture has opened up my mind greatly. +886 988-726-134
