Founder and Managing Director Rather then simply pointing out the earth’s eco challenges, Arthur Huang as an university professor, engineer, architect, and entrepreneur, has been dedicating all of his intellectual and physical capacity to create executable sustainable products and building solutions since 2004. Mr. Huang formally established MINIWIZ in 2006 and since then the company has gown organically into a profitable international eco-solution product brand employing over 40 full-time professional engineers, architects and designers. Arthur Huang was born in Taiwan in 1978 and moved to the US at age 11. Educated as an Architect from Cornell University, armed with structural engineering knowledge, humanity studies, and hands-on execution skill, Mr. Huang furthered his professional training at well-known architecture and product design professional offices, like Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP (NYC), Pentagram Design (NYC) and CYLee & Partners. Continuing his search for multi-disciplinary professional training, he graduated from Harvard University with a Master of Architecture degree in 2004 with special interest invested in green business development.

Mr. Huang subsequently continues his teaching as part-time Assistant Professor from one of the best national funded engineering university, NCTU, in Taiwan lecturing in MBA, material engineering, and architecture design courses. Joined forces with GSD, Harvard University, Prof. Huang started the “Innovation in Low Carbon Building Envelop” engineering program partnering with Prof. Bechthold, Director of Architecture Technology and Fabrication, sharing applicable green technology research between Greater China and the US starting Spring Semester of 2011. The three years Harvard+MINIWIZ joint research program involves professional engineers and architects from MINIWIZ, and design and business school students from Harvard University. Recognizing for his creativity and innovative spirit, Arthur received his very first award from the renowned Disney’s Creative Challenge in 1995 in California selected as one of the three finalists for the 3D category and later won the Art Medallion from Villa Park High School. In Cornell University Arthur was awarded the Charles Goodwin Sands Memorial Medal and academic leadership award for his achievement in Design and technical performance. During his teaching appointment, Arthur was awarded a Special Recognition Award among university faculties for his contribution in teaching excellence by initiated, executed, and taught, the never thought possible, a privately funded semester-credit TUNGHAI in ROME program partnering with Cornell University in 2006, and the program is still running today. Four years later, Recognizing for his genuine innovation in Eco technology products, Arthur was awarded the EARTH AWARD, 2010 PRODUCT winner in London’s Common Wealth of Secretariats selected by the world’s most sophisticated leaders in Green, 40 under 40 World Design Talent Award, Financial Times 2010 Earth Award, and WSJ Innovator of the Year Finalist. 2011, National Geographic Channel is featuring Arthur and the MINIWIZ R/D team in an hour-long “MEGASTRUCTURE-EcoARK” program airing internationally across 150 countries telling the vivid story of eco innovation today through HD resolution. |
