Nyta is an experimental design and research practice based in Washington, D.C. and New York, founded by Lingzhe Lu and Kun Chen. We are designers committed to social and environmental responsibility, integrating data-driven computational design, material research, and artistic thoughts to engage the relationship between the human society and the built environment.

Lingzhe Lu is a licensed architect in Washington, D.C. By combining her artistic insight with architectural storytelling, Lingzhe views design as a process to explore, speculate, and address social and environmental issues. Lingzhe holds a Bachelor’s degree from Bartlett and a Master’s degree from Cornell University.

Kun Chen is a licensed architect in New York State. Specialized in computational design, data-driven analysis, and emerging tools such as AI, Kun blends creativity with rationality, exploring new possibilities in design. Kun holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University at Buffalo and a Master’s degree from Cornell University.
