I am Shuheng Yao, an interior architecture and design graduate from China. Based on my study and work experience in China and the UK, I have a multicultural and multi-perspective mindset and focus in Interior Design. Therefore, I am interested in the architectural culture of different regions and periods. I have completed many interior projects at the undergraduate level based on my cultural concepts. All of them include a deep study and refinement of cultural connotations and their rational use in spatial elements.
My final project is a day centre designed for senior Chinese people in the UK, providing daily health care services for the elderly and spaces for cultural communication activities between them and the local society. The project aims to help elder Chinese immigrants to get a sense of belonging and to help them connect to the local society. The crossed ramps are both accessible paths and a symbolic bridge of cultural communication.
