Melody Chen completed her architecture degree at the University of Queensland in 2005 prior to co-founding architecture practice Atelier Chen Hung with James Hung in 2008. Her experience of living in both Taiwan and Australia sparks curiosity in how cultural contexts influence the production of architecture, in particular questions around material hierarchy and occupation of landscapes. In collaboration she has led a series of highly provocative and memorable built works in the suburban and native landscape locations. Melody is also a design tutor and regular guest critic in various universities.
