Wendy Saunders is co-founder of international practice Aim Architecture.

After completing her master’s degree in architecture from Ghent University, she spent a decade working in top design firms in Amsterdam before moving to China in 2005.

She established Aim Architecture with her partner, Vincent de Graaf, with a goal to design buildings and spaces that encourage social change and cultivate human connections.

Recent projects include the transformation of oil silos into a community park, a rural resort complete with tentacle-like canopies and a beauty store informed by underground factories.
