Name: Jichuan Ding
Course: Architecture and adaptive reuse

I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Architectural Engineering in June 2019 in China and have been working for 4 years. During the four years of professional work experience I have accumulated, I have frequently travelled to building construction sites to conduct inspections and witnessed projects from initial conception to final completion. This practical experience has enabled me to assess the feasibility and innovative nature of projects. In addition, I qualified as a Class Ⅱ Registered Architect with technical knowledge in building structures, sustainability, materials, fire services and indoor environments.
I have a special interest in the practice of adaptive reuse and am committed to integrating the concept of sustainability into the conservation of historic buildings. Through rational structural reinforcement, material selection and spatial optimisation, I hope to revitalise the building while respecting its original character, bringing new social and economic value to the local community.
I am very excited to join this heritage restoration project. I hope to continue to learn through teamwork and work with everyone to explore ways to preserve heritage while incorporating modern needs for the Tyldesley community and creating a sustainable built environment.
