An Chen
Project Manager
An Chen, Project Manager, defied the question of art or engineering by choosing both through architecture. Focusing on the details, he started at CANY in 2015 as a drafter. Working in new construction, predominantly on building enclosures, he takes architects’ broad strokes, examining them from all angles to design detailed systems that deliver aesthetically on time and in budget. A second pair of eyes, drilling into the details to inspect contractors’ work, he’s grateful for his colleagues’ support, especially when projects don’t run in straight lines. He respects the boundaries of his role but loves the creative freedom within them.
