Overview
David Hu Architect was established in 1996. A New York based atelier, DHA has been providing distinguished design services for select clients in the US and Asia, including Japan, Taiwan, China, Thailand and Malaysia, for the past 17 years.
DHA’s repertoire encompasses one-of-a-kind designs from planning and development of large acreages, architecture and interior projects to unique furniture. This presentation also showcases a wide spectrum of projects demonstrating our creative design processes that transcend the limitations of typologies or cultural/geographic demarcations.
At the juncture of unprecedented technological advancements, DHA aspires to address the urgency of individual sense of being in space. Our design processes are honed to reinvestigate the cultures and principles of built environments, the tectonics of architecture. The work displayed here chronicles the conception and evolution of progressive ideas and, most importantly, their actualization. These efforts demonstrate a commitment in realizing unconventional visions that answer to current existential issues regarding the sensual versus virtual properties of space and boundaries, as well as the emotional dimension of tectonic elements that conjures the individual sense of place.
In 2008, David Hu formed “New York New Vision Design Consulting Inc.” with the renowned artist Quan-Wu Li to focus on architectural ventures in China. Presently, Mr. Hu and Mr. Li are overseeing the design and implementation of a 400-acre art complex in Wuhan, China, anchored by a privately owned 100,000 square-foot modern art museum and a boutique hotel scheduled to open in 2014.
