About

Ying-Lan co-ordinates First Year Interior Design, within the RMIT School of Architecture and Urban Design, Interior Design. Ying is a registered and practicing architect (ARBV) and visual artist. Her PhD research titled 'Site Drawing: Drawing with the world drawing itself' poses drawing as practice of mutual movement between drawer and site that produces unexpected site knowledge. Bringing these understandings of drawing to architecture offers to extend how architects draw and think site, place, movement, ecology, and environment.
