Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your design background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am an architect and the design principal at 00Group, a Shanghai-based studio I co-founded with the mission to create innovative, contemporary spaces rooted in oriental aesthetics. My design philosophy focuses on exploring the essence of \u201c0\u201d\u2014a foundation from which our team crafts architectural works that adapt fluidly to the project and environment, rather than adhering to any fixed style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, I have gained experience with internationally renowned firms like DS+R, Steven Holl, Bjarke Ingels Group, and UNStudio, which has given me a strong foundation in both conceptual and technical design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My background spans diverse project types, including cultural centers, office buildings, commercial spaces, and urban landscapes. Recently, my work has emphasized designs that engage with nature and local culture in a meaningful way, such as incorporating ancient Chinese artistic elements in modern architectural expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m committed to pushing boundaries in design, harnessing new technologies, and maintaining a collaborative approach to create spaces that resonate deeply with their surroundings and the communities they serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a designer\/artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I became an architect to modernize and spatially express Chinese culture. My goal is to transform traditional cultural elements into contemporary architectural language, allowing people to experience the depth and elegance of Chinese heritage within modern spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through design, I seek to merge tradition with innovation, creating environments that resonate culturally while engaging a contemporary audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3.Tell us more about your business\/company, job profile and what you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our firm is dedicated to creating innovative, culturally resonant spaces that blend oriental aesthetics with modern design principles. We work across diverse project types, from cultural and commercial buildings to urban landscapes and residential projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My role centers on leading the creative vision, developing design concepts, and ensuring that each project embodies a thoughtful integration of environment, technology, and culture. Our team prioritizes a flexible, explorative approach to design, allowing us to craft unique solutions that connect deeply with both the site and its users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What does \u201cdesign\u201d mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, design is the art of transforming ideas and culture into spaces that shape experiences. It\u2019s a process of translating abstract concepts\u2014whether cultural, emotional, or environmental\u2014into physical forms that resonate with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. To you, what makes a ‘good’ design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite kind of design is the work of Louis Kahn. His greatest strength lies in his ability to present intangible meanings within tangible spaces, revealing a higher sense of philosophy and vitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahn\u2019s designs transcend functionality; they evoke a sense of life and deeper purpose, bringing abstract qualities like silence, light, and presence into a physical form. His work resonates on an almost spiritual level, capturing the essence of architecture as a living, meaningful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
