Yi Lu

I am Yi (Rachel) Lu, a licensed architect, building scientist, and creative practitioner working at the intersection of architecture, artificial intelligence, and environmental performance. My work focuses on reducing carbon emissions and improving building sustainability by turning complex data into actionable design strategies. I have contributed to AI-driven research, collaborated with international firms, and had my work featured in platforms such as ArchDaily and The Young Archs. What makes me unique is my ability to bridge technical rigor and creative exploration, using both research and speculative 3D visualization to envision more resilient, human-centered built environments.
