Existence, built from non-existence.

The future of architecture might not need to contain facilities, while an empty room purely constructed with tangible displays can form a bed to physically raise the user up in the morning, or dynamically separate the room with a smart wall. My research interest aims to sparkle the light on building these functionalities of existence from materials that present non-existence.

万物生于有,
有生于无

All things are born from existence, and existence is born from non-existence.

老子《道德经》 · Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

research

I aim to explore the future form of architecture and the living environment by building Tangible Interfaces incorporated in the built environment, or in architectural scales. I also want to explore the potential of AI in manipulating the living space, both virtual and physical. I have a particular interest in traditional chinese architecture and have researched on the techniques and cultures embedded in them. With the background of Interactive Media and Computer Science, I implemented multi-media projects focusing on space and human interaction.
