Maggie Bao

Designer

From her Platinum A’ Design Award for her work on The Hex, a computationally generated kite conceived with teammates from an experimental studio at the Melbourne School of Design, to multi-factorial investigations in wood as a construction material with her Master of Advanced Architectural Design (MAAD) team in the UC Berkeley Department of Architecture, Maggie has established herself as a promising innovator in architectural practice. She joins ABA with creative design and research skills enhanced by an aptitude for coding and technology that strives to push the limits of architectural thinking – without losing sight of the need to create human, environmentally conscientious solutions. Crucially, she brings an inquisitive mind to her work, confirming the observation by inspiring designer Thomas Heatherwick that “Often the most important moment in the design process is figuring out what the right question is.”
