Shu Guo bridges the worlds of building practice, historical research, and economic systems. As a registered Building Designer and Builder with twenty years of experience, he has a deep understanding of the Australian housing industry’s realities.
His career traces the evolution of construction innovation itself. From leading pioneering 3D-printing projects to his current role as Co-founder and Chief Design Officer at Signex, a prefabricated housing provider, he has been instrumental in bringing next-generation MMC to market.
This practical innovation is guided by a unique intellectual pursuit: years of deep research into classical Chinese architecture, gardens, and historical building systems like the Yingzao Fashi. He deciphers how ancient, systemized wisdom can inform modern challenges. As a graduate in economics, his work is particularly focused on the systemic forces and market dynamics that shape the built environment—a perspective that defines his approach to architecture & system.
