張淑征 Grace Cheung  AIA
Founder/ Principal Architect

Founding Principal of XRANGE Architects. Holding a Master of Architecture from Columbia University, Cheung is a USA licensed architect living and practicing in Taipei. Prior to XRANGE, Cheung gained her experience in top offices around the world, at Patkau Architects in Vancouver, Bernard Tschumi Architects in New York and OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) Asia in Hong Kong and Rotterdam.

Born in Malaysia before moving to Canada in her teens, Cheung has lived, studied and worked on 3 continents: America, Europe and Asia. Seeing herself as a front-line worker in the shifting cultural contexts that shaped her and characterized her practice, Cheung brings her cultural fluency and international background to steer XRANGE towards a specifically localized yet global critical point of view with the methods and materials of architecture.
