She followed her passion for cultural exploration through world travel, writing, photography, and storytelling. At SWA, Peiwen has personally directed a number of significant public projects from concept to implementation. Her professional contributions are realized through built works that reinvigorate urban parks and waterfronts, enrich places through cultural integration, and promote both aesthetics and a forward-looking social agenda. Through her urban transformation projects in Asia, the US, and Africa, Peiwen&#8217;s unique approach restores urban ecology, promotes socially resilient public spaces, and embraces a forward-looking lifestyle. Her thought leadership is developed through writing on her Ren Chi Space website, where she explores a design methodology that is applicable to original urban community-building in diverse cultural contexts.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"vc-acf-field-picker-field vc-acf-field-picker-field-type-wysiwyg \"><p>Master of Landscape Architecture, Texas A&amp;M University<\/p>\n<p>Master of Science in Urban Planning &amp;
