About

Hi, I’m Xiyan Li, a design-minded architecture student based in Philadelphia. I blend sustainable strategy with hands-on fabrication, and I thrive in collaborative environments, translating ideas into clear drawings, models, and presentations while coordinating with multidisciplinary teams. My experience at Asymptote Architecture has sharpened my ability to refine project details and communicate design intent effectively.

Currently pursuing an M.Arch at the University of Pennsylvania, I enjoy exploring AI-assisted design, 3D modeling, and rapid prototyping to push the boundaries of contemporary architecture. I’m excited to contribute to ambitious projects—from villa developments to corporate campuses—and to grow as a designer who merges craft with innovative technology.
