YIHE CHEN
I am an architecture student based in Milan. My multi-cultural background in Asia and Europe allows me to have open perspectives, tools and a deep empathy to approach cultural, socio-political themes. I’m sensitive to the ongoing challenges that we face from modernity and technology, with an eager to participate with even a minor impact. I believe in ethics, value rationality, absolute beauty and that can work together to make the space we coexsist a better place.
