Work

Chu fuses art and design in her work as an architect.[3] As an educator working across the U.S. and abroad, Chu was recognized as a 2016 Presidential Honoree of the Los Angeles chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Distinguished Educator Award.[4] Chu was later appointed Vice President of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) Board of Directors.[5]

In an article regarding the influence of women architects, Chu stated, "Perhaps they are more likely to listen and empathize and to find ways to integrate responses into design and project management."[6]
