Shieh’s teaching, research, and professional practice are at the intersection of architecture with urbanism, landscape, and infrastructure. In spring 2024, he taught a final-semester MArch thesis studio in which students investigated how architecture could contribute to the resilience of ecological, sociocultural, and infrastructural systems in the São Cristóvão neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. For his teaching, Shieh was awarded the 2023 Presidential Excellence in Teaching Award by New York Tech, and the national 2023 New Faculty Teaching Award by ACSA/AIAS. He is the author of Autonomous Urbanism: Towards a New Transitopia (ORO Editions/AR+D Publishing, 2024), a two-volume book monograph on the impact of autonomous vehicles on the future of cities. Shieh is also the director of Emergent Studio, a design and research office, and previously worked at Henning Larsen, UNStudio, and New York City’s Department of City Planning.
