She previously taught at Hong Kong University and maintains a private architecture practice IDU.

Education
Du earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida, a master of architecture at Princeton University, then a doctorate of science in architecture from ETH Zurich.[1]
Career
In 2006, Du established her own architecture practice, IDU.[1] She also joined Hong Kong University, where she taught until 2021.[1]
In 2010, Du curated Quotidian Architectures, Hong Kong's contribution to the Venice Biennale of Architecture, “exploring the relationship between collaborative design and socially and environmentally responsible architecture”.[2]
In 2020, Du published The Shenzhen Experiment (Harvard University Press), which emphasizes contingent factors like history, ecology, politics, culture, and people in the success of the city, rather than resulting strictly from top-down planning.[3][4][5][6][7]
In July 2021, she became professor and dean at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto.[1]
