Daniel Wing Hang Tang

Daniel Wing Hang Tang is a Lecturer in the Department of The Built Environment at London South Bank University (LSBU), teaching Master of Architecture design studios and modules including BA Architecture Design, Digital Representation, and Energy Efficiency. An ARB-registered architect, he founded Studio DT LTD (2019-present) and maintains active professional practice alongside academia.

Education:

• Master of Architecture, London South Bank University (2015-2017)
• RIBA Part 3, Architectural Association School of Architecture (2019-2020)
• MRes Architectural Computation, University College London (2022-2024)

Research Focus: His work integrates cognitive science, phenomenology, and rhythmanalysis to explore how architectural environments affect human cognition. Current investigations examine visual complexity's impact on cognitive load using time perception metrics, advancing sustainable design aligned with UN SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities).

Publication Trend: His research bridges architectural computation with cognitive psychology, utilizing computational modeling to quantify environmental impacts on mental processing—a growing interdisciplinary approach in evidence-based design.

Awards:

• UCL EPSRC Landscape Award (UELA) studentship for "Equitable movement and navigation modelling" (May 2025)
• RIBA Wren Insurance Association Scholarships (July 2016)

Academic Service: Supervises MArch/BA design studios while developing curriculum in digital representation and sustainable technologies. His UELA-funded PhD at UCL expands this work into computational spatial analysis.

Research Affiliation: Member of LSBU's Architecture Digital x Data Research Centre, collaborating with UCL's School of Architecture on cognitive load measurement in built environments.
