MOCA Spotlight: Calvin Tsao, Architect and Co-Founder of Tsao & McKown

The Museum of Chinese in America held its second Spotlight Series talk on Wednesday, October 28, 2020. We were honored to present Calvin Tsao as our second speaker, one of the most acclaimed and recognizable architects worldwide. Graduating from UC Berkeley before receiving his Master of Architecture from Harvard University, Tsao forged his own path by founding Tsao & McKown in 1985 with his partner and fellow visionary, Zack McKown. He has orchestrated built environments across a variety of scales and locales; his significant works include the Sunbrella Headquarters in Burlington, NC; Sangha, At One Hotel in Suzhou, China; the renovation of the Jewish Museum permanent collection in New York, Brower Park Library in Brooklyn, Jianfu Palace Museum in The Forbidden City, Beijing, Suntec City in Singapore, as well as product design: a lipstick case for Shu Uemura. Tsao envisions his role as that of a cultural mediator striving to harness global experience and technology to express the essence of local cultures and contexts.
