Sayyoung Chang studied architecture in South Korea before gaining professional experience across art, exhibition design, and architectural practice. Working across diverse scales and mediums has shaped an understanding of space not merely as form, but as something that operates within broader social and cultural contexts.
Currently, Sayyoung is pursuing a graduate degree at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Sayyoung is also a co-founder of the design team S-Square, which stands for Sustainable and System. Through this work, sustainability is explored by organizing climatic and environmental conditions into spatial and structural systems, while maintaining a strong sensitivity to cultural contexts.
