Sylvia Kwan, FAIA, founder and chair of San Francisco-based Kwan Henmi Architecture/Planning Inc., is a participant on the new Survivor: Fiji, which premieres February 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. Kwan will be one of 19 contestants on the island of Fiji battling the South Pacific elements for a $1 million prize in this new edition of the long-running Survivor reality series. (In case you’ve been stranded on an island and don’t know, Survivor pits strangers against each other in a remote location. Without comforts, the goals of the players are to form tribes, outwit opponents in competitions, not get “voted off,” and become the lone survivor.) Will Kwan survive Fiji and win the big prize? AIA members will just have to tune in each week to see! Click here to go to CBS’ Survivor Web page to read her bio and view a video of an interview with her shot prior to the start of production.

Go Sylvia!
