Yujia Wang

Yujia Wang is an Assistant Professor of Practice in Landscape Architecture at UNL College of Architecture. His education background is international and interdisciplinary, during which he sought a path that involved landscape architecture as well as regional and urban planning, urban design, architecture, and in addition policy and financial studies. Through this education and research background, he has developed a unique set of lens to observe and operate in the built environment.

Prior to joining UNL, Wang has practiced in the United States and China. At Sasaki Associates' Boston office, he worked on a range of domestic and international projects across a multitude of scales. The work include urban landscape projects such as Chongqing Twin River Waterfront Vision Plan, and built projects like Cantigny Park, Boston WTC Pier, and Jinan MixC Retail District. He has also worked at and led the Chongqing Chapter of Wuzhiqiao, a series of charitable projects focused on enhancing security and access by building bridges for distant and under-served villages in rural parts of China. Notably, the Qingling Phase I bridge, a 50-meter bridge he and the team completed in 2013, was used as a example of success and was widely covered by national and local media.

In addition to practice, Wang curates exhibitions and creates exhibits, working with distinctive institutions and venues such as Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Arts and Planning Exhibitions (MoCAPE) and Shenzhen Bi-City Shenzhen Biennale of Urbanism\ Architecture.
