Charles Kwan received his B.Arch.Sci from Ryerson University in Toronto, and M.Arch from Pratt Institute in New York City. Previously he was a visiting instructor co-teaching M.Arch studio at Pratt Institute.

He has worked at SYSTEMarchitects (NYC), SUBdV (NYC), and Zaha Hadid Architects (GZ/HK), participating in projects of various scales.

He has now founded his own studio, half AND half Studio to pursue and develop projects with the premise of exploration, negotiation, and mediation between different, and at times seemingly opposing ideas; and to seek a sensitive, balanced resolution between the two.
