DaeWha Kang is a designer, artist, and architect who has spent the last twenty years studying and building architecture around the world. He believes in the possibility of design to uplift the spirit, challenge the intellect, and strengthen the body and mind. He founded DaeWha Kang Design in 2014. DaeWha’s studio creates beauty and timelessness in work that ranges from urban design to architecture, sculpture and interiors. The studio’s international projects have won multiple awards, including the American Architecture Prize, The Korea Ministry of Land Prize for project of the year, among others. The practice’s projects include company headquarters in the UK and Asia, master planning and urban design, and projects of cultural significance such as the regeneration of a Christopher Wren church, a concert hall in central London, and a fine arts museum in Saudi Arabia. DaeWha is also a trailblazer in the design of virtual architecture, having worked with some of the world’s leading platforms to develop future applications within the metaverse.
The studio works to improve wellbeing through design, and its ethos can be summarised in its statement “beauty built with wisdom”.

During his ten years as a senior member of Zaha Hadid Architects he was the design director of several foundational projects, including KAPSARC, the practice’s first LEED Platinum building, and the Sleuk Rith Institute, a memorial to house the documents recording the genocides of the Khmer Rouge. DaeWha has also been active in education, having taught at the Bartlett School of Architecture and the Yale School of Architecture in the United States.
