Join us for a presentation by Dr. Tssui, an architect, scientist, athlete, and global educator whose work redefines the boundaries of design, ecology and human potential. Known for his radical architecture inspired by nature and his daring proposals such as the Ultima Tower and the Nexus Floating Sea City, Dr. Tssui brings an interdisciplinary lens to every project—blending science, culture, sustainability and a bold imagination.

With academic roots in Columbia, UC Berkeley, and Harvard, Tssui has taught worldwide, led massive educational reforms in China, and represented the U.S. on global design stages. His work has been featured by the Museum of Modern Art, National Geographic, and the BBC, and he continues to challenge conventional thinking on urban living, environmental design, and the possibilities of the human body and mind.

This is a rare opportunity to hear from someone who lives at the intersection of design, science, Whether you're into architecture, sustainability, or just inspired by people who break the mold—this is a conversation not to miss.
