Li joined MWA in September, recently completing his studies at the University of Sydney. He has worked for GFA2 architects, facilitating visualisations to aid in the Spanish competition process. Li comes highly recommended by his design tutor Guillermo Fernandez-Abascal and we have not been disappointed. Li has settled in well and is helping us with visualisations and documentation of elements and details for several apartment buildings.
