Early life and education
editBorn in Beijing in 1962, Mo grew up apprenticing in the art studio of his father, the renowned Chinese woodcut artist Mo Ce. In 1984, he received his Bachelor's Degree from Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture. After teaching for two years, he left Beijing for Cambridge, Massachusetts and received his Master of Architecture I degree from Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1990.[2]
Career
editAfter graduating from Harvard's GSD, Ping worked in Graham Gund Architects in Boston Massachusetts for five years (1990-1995). He joined Pei Partnership Architects (PPA) in 1995 as an architect in New York City. In 1998, Mo was appointed by I. M. Pei to manage on site the design and construction of Pei's Bank of China Beijing Headquarters project.[2] As the project's residential architect, Mo assumed the role of Managing Director for PPA in Asia from 2002 to 2005, overseeing the development of more projects in China for the firm.[3] In 2005, Mo left PPA and founded his own architectural practice Mo Atelier (莫平建筑设计顾问事务所). He was later joined by the architect Gerald Szeto as partner, forming the architectural practice now known as Mo Atelier Szeto (MAS).
Since 2005, MAS has offered a diverse range of design services encompassing master-planning, architectural design and interior design for a broad range of key and signature projects in China across educational, healthcare, corporate and cultural sectors.[4]
