CONTENTS
Foreword
I believe that every expression of emotion and behavior is guided by cultural contexts and spatial narratives, both of which together influence human beings’ understanding of their relationship with society. Therefore, my research focuses on exploring the interaction between culture and architecture in an attempt to revitalize the existing urban fabric in the context of social crisis.
In my work, I deconstruct the background and process of cultural events, and by mining cultural symbols and architectural language, combined with dynamic design to bring the audience into a narrative field driven by a timeline, immersed in critical thinking about social phenomena, I propose the possibility of architecture as a catalyst for social change, making space a bridge to convey cultural values.
The contrasting design creates a place where people can switch between work and socializing. 01 02 03 04 05
