About
The story so far.
The person behind the work.
Alvin Zhu is an architecture graduate and content creator, and the founder of Projects by People, a platform that connects the global architecture community by putting the people behind the projects first. He completed his Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, and later moved to Sydney to study for his master's.
After graduating, Alvin found that his strongest interest lay in filmmaking and storytelling rather than conventional practice, a passion first sparked by a video project during his studies. He has since produced film and video content for architecture organisations and creative collectives, alongside building and evolving Projects by People as an online community.
