Staff Profiles

Introductory Profile:

Fang has been in the design professional for 18 years and has extensive industry experience both in Australia and overseas. Especially, in 1999, Fang established his own multi-disciplinary design practice in Beijing, designing and managing a diverse variety of projects in urban, architecture, interior, landscape and object. He substantially built his reputation and widely gained professional recognition through projects, exhibitions and publications. His book “Building into Landscape” as a case study reveals his design philosophy behind his practice.

Fang’s research interests are generated from his broad professional practice and benefited from his cross-cultural experience. His academic passion is in exploring design as a medium- the relationship between culture, design processing and decision-making. Fang's work focuses on urban public space design, and its response to the world's social, cultural and environmental changes.  Prior to taking up his position at CoFA, Fang had lectured at the AoAD, Tsinghua University (Beijing) and Griffith University. He coordinated the senior year courses, taught the graduate and postgraduate design programs and contributed to design research. In 1986 and 1983, Fang gained a M.A and B.A from the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University, Beijing, where he is currently also an adjunct professor.
