Education

MA 2022-2023, Interior Design

BA 2018-2022, Landscape Architecture

From landscape design to interior design, the approach to spatial design that I have learnt has enabled me to better control the scale of space. I think interior design allows people to experience changes in materials, colours and light more closely than landscape design, which is why I am so drawn to interior design.

When I first visited the site, I couldn't take my eyes off the large areas of wonderful graffiti on the walls. They are very attractive and add a lot of energy to this old factory, so I want to continue this street culture on the site.

As an extremely important part of street art, graffiti has made great contributions to artists of different races and genders to spread their manifesto. However, government regulations on graffiti on private or public property are becoming stricter, making an even more difficult situation for many artists. So I want to explore 'how can we break the limits of interior and street to celebrate graffiti art and support artists?'.

The project aims to provide people, especially graffiti artists, with a legitimate space where they can freely express their art. Building upon the previously highlighted aspect of "Rotating," it tries to enhance the fun of interaction between artist and artist, artwork and artwork.

The site boasts numerous art-related venues, such as galleries, workshops, and studios. Situated in close proximity to the Thames, people can also explore tunnels with captivating graffiti along the riverside. This entire area fosters a thriving community dedicated to art and culture.

The revolving doors will be turned over once a month. The connected indoor space will become an "Indoor Street Gallery" where visitors can see new graffiti on the doors every month. Normally, if someone wants to overwrite the original graffiti, they need to make a better one. So the best work could be left for a long time.

The walls are formed by aluminium panels in a form similar to louvres. Each piece can be turned over flexibly, creating more possibilities for interaction (collaboration or competition) between artist and artist.
