After gaining significant experience working for prestigious firms such as Zaha Hadid Architects and AL_A, alumnus Alvin Huang began his practice Synthesis Design + Architecture in 2011. Blending applied research with exploratory practice, the young practice has completed commissions ranging from a huge shopping centre in Bangkok to a rapidly deployable solar-powered charging station for a new, alternative-fuel Volvo.

In an article featured on the website Archinect, Huang discusses how he took the leap to start his own practice and the challenges he has faced in doing so.  In the article Huang says, “The two major hurdles we have come across recently have been issues of “hunting” aka business development, and “currency” aka reputation.”
