JADE LOO ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
Selected Academic Works
Jade is a graduating Master of Architecture student at the Queensland University of Technology with a passion for all things art and design. She spent 1.5 years studying architecture in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia before moving to Brisbane where she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree majoring in Architectural Studies with a minor in Construction from QUT.
Originally from KL, Jade's design approaches largely draw inspiration from her experiences in Asia, as well as encounters through travels. In her spare time, she enjoys photography, reading and writing, carrying out little craft projects and a good ol' banter. Please get in touch for further information.
“...true qualities of architecture are not formal or geometric, intellectual or even aesthetic. They are existential and poetic, embodied and emotive experiences, which connect us with the deep human historicity of occupying space”
