Thank you for reading my portfolio
Through this portfolio, I would like to present my reflections on the evolving relationship between "human-space-technology" and my exploration of experiencedriven design. Moving beyond traditional architectural thinking, I focus on how environments — both physical and digital — can better respond to human needs through spatial innovation, interaction design, and emerging AI technologies. Starting from real-world issues, I investigate how design can enhance emotional connections, encourage participation, and create more empathetic, adaptive spaces. My projects span community engagement, spatial product innovation, AI-generated design, and interactive experiences, all aiming to reimagine the boundaries between people, technology, and their surroundings. I believe that good design is not just about solving problems, but about creating meaningful experiences that resonate deeply with people.
Table of Contents
Through on-site research and interviews with the residents, it is concluded that there are two key problems in the community. The first is the problem of the living environment. The community buildings are aging and noisy, which affects people's lives. The second is the relationship between people in Shanghai. Due to busy work, there is little communication between neighbors, which leads to a cold relationship between people in the community. Therefore, starting from these two major issues, the design of the community is carried out.

COMMUNITY PLANNING
The design of the promenade serves three purposes. Firstly, it breaks away from the traditional flat style and enhances the openness of the community and enhances communication. Secondly, it facilitates the community's outings and activities. Thirdly, it eases the traffic pressure of the city.
