Guided by a lifelong sensitivity to space, he shapes experiences that reveal both emotional depth and refined precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liao Wei-Chiang Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m an architectural and interior designer, constantly inspired by the rhythm of the waves. For me, design is much like the sea\u2014mysterious, fluid, and full of unexpected beauty. From a young age, I\u2019ve had a deep sensitivity to space. I would often find myself imagining how ordinary settings could be transform into emotionally immersive experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I grew, travelling and engaging in water sports opened my eyes to how nature. Its flowing curves, the play of light and shadow, and the tension held within open space\u2014could be translated into a design language. That realisation sparked a passion in me, one that continues to guide my creative journey with unwavering dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recognition is more than an award\u2014it is a bridge for meaningful dialogue with the global community. It validates that our work, while deeply rooted in local culture. Can also be understand, appreciate, and celebrate across cultures. More importantly, it gives me the courage to keep pushing boundaries and to craft a new design language\u2014one that reflects the spirit, challenges, and aspirations of our time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This achievement has opened the door to more international collaborations and cross-disciplinary invitations, while also greatly boosting our team\u2019s confidence. For us, it\u2019s more than a moment of recognition\u2014it\u2019s a source of momentum that propels us forward. It has deepened trust in our ability to take on projects of diverse scales and styles, and has paved the way for new partnerships with both brands and artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve always believed that without experimentation, there can be no true breakthrough. It\u2019s much like surfing\u2014you have to ride countless waves before discovering the perfect line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the project that received this award, I explored a technique of deconstructing and reassembling building materials. Elements traditionally reserved for exterior fa\u00e7ades were reimagined and brought into the interior, blurring the boundary between inside and out. This spirit of experimentation allowed the project to break free from convention and offer a completely new spatial experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\"><i class=\"icon-instagram\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\"><i class=\"icon-globe-line\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-facebook\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(read more <a href=\"https:\/\/frenchdesignawards.com\/winner-info.php?id=559\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/muse.international\/interview-with-betty-fan-bailichen-interior-design-co-ltd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a vision shaped by nature and the sea, Liao Wei-Chiang transforms everyday spaces into immersive environments defined by light, rhythm, and flow.
