Interview with the Winner

What is your design philosophy?

In my opinion, the act of design is like a way of emotional communication. No matter the object is human or object, two-way emotions are communicated through "being designed". Such "being designed" is not necessarily practice, but some may be ideology. As design practitioners, we need to build a communication mechanism from it, so that the social connection is closer, of course, this is also the responsibility.

Can you briefly explain your understanding of the topic and the source of ideas?

I strongly agree with and support the idea put forward by the organizer. Although contemporary architectural design has formed many unique styles and charms, many concerns have been placed in the scope of functional services, while concerns about human's pure feelings or emotions have been gradually diluted, which is similar to the development process of the movie on a certain level. Therefore, the design of this museum also hopes to reconstruct a new museum form through emotional analysis and translation of classic movies, so as to influence people's behavior and thinking and awaken their attention to emotional space.

When and how you were first introduced to architecture?

Before I came into contact with architecture, I thought architectural design or space design was a highly professional job that depended on science and technology. However, after the first encounter with Gaudi's architecture, I found that architecture is actually very romantic, full of emotion and strength, and it can carry a lot, not only temperature and safety in the physical sense.

What does architecture mean to you?

Architecture is of great significance to me. It not only makes me know a lot of interesting people and things, but also helps me find my life goal.
