About
Shu Guo is a Registered Building Designer and Builder with 20 years of experience in the Australian housing industry. His career spans the evolution of construction innovation, from leading early 3D-printing projects to his current role as founding Chief Design and Product Officer at Signex, a prefabricated housing provider.
Alongside practice, he conducts long-term research into classical architecture, gardens, and building systems. His work focuses on how historical frameworks — especially those codified in the Yingzao Fashi (Treatise on Architectural Methods, 1103) — can inform contemporary challenges in housing delivery, modular construction, and the poetics of living.
With an academic background in economics, his analysis centers on the systemic, regulatory, and economic forces that shape the built environment.
