Interior Design (MA)

Mingzhen Bai

Since the days of the earliest computer networks, the internet has undergone a tremendous transformation. From a closed off network, to one that covers the globe, it has connected people like never before. Such an extraordinary level of connectedness has revolutionized everything.

In the era of information explosion, while people enjoy the convenience brought by technology, data suggests that excessive fragmented and transparent information has caused great harm to people's psychology. This excessive connection between people and others has inadvertently caused the disconnection between people and themselves.

This project seeks to explore how to use spatial experience and materials to help people who have lost their individuality in an era of information explosion, restore the ability to think deeply, find the true self, and restore uniqueness.

Mingzhen is a freedom-loving and optimistic designer. She believes that she has the gift of perceiving other people's emotions, which makes her pay attention to the relationship between space and people's psychology. She hopes to use interior design as a carrier of change to influence and heal people. To that end she is usually immersed in her own world, using design to outline the possibility of positive change. She thinks a building is also a story that is told by the space using its form and materials.
