Our work is dedicated to discovering threads from the reality around us, from the environment that is already there, and with the action of discoversing and design, we build stretches of new reality.
 
Fieldwork is an integral part of our design process. Anthropological methods, mapping and interpretation, heumeneutics, poem wrtiting with realistic materials are equal to our design process.

I view architecture as a form of labor driven by “understanding for the sake of imagination” —a dual practice of comprehending and envisioning. Architect is an anthropologist + an architect.  I work in semi‑urbanized villages where governance, topography, and local agency collide, revealing a built environment fractured by conflicting intentions and overlapping visions. My task is to orchestrate space so it cultivates connection, continuity, and shared meaning— what Louis Kahn called the inseparability of “the room, the street, and human agreement.” In 2025, information moves faster than ever, yet perspectives drift further apart, demanding that architects expand their methods, scope, and roles. Through site‑specific interventions, analytical mapping, and teaching, I seek to awaken perception and activate the often‑overlooked ties between space, environment, landscape, history, and collective life. Architecture, then, is not a consumer object displayed like an Hermès bag; it is an ongoing, echoing conversation between subject and land—exactly what my atelier “wo‑land” (我‑land) aspires to embody.
