Designer of the Day Interview with Hsiang Kai Yang

Could you please tell us about your experience as a designer, artist, architect or creator?
I have been engaged in interior design for more than 12 years,The fields of study during the school period include graphic design, landscape design, urban design and space design, and specialize in urban planning during the research period.
How did you become a designer?
I like to appreciate beautiful things, and I also like to work on creating beautiful things, especially when creating beautiful things, I also meet the needs of all kinds of people. It makes me feel very fulfilled, so I don’t hesitate to choose Be a designer who can bring happiness to people
What are your priorities, technique and style when designing?
Observing the natural environment, and then thinking with hands instead of the brain. Thinking while drawing by hand is my usual way. After the overall structure is determined, I start to draw with professional software.For example, AutoCad 3Dmax
Which emotions do you feel when designing?
At the beginning of the design, the hand-drawn concept sketch is the most exciting time. It is a bit boring when I start to draw the drawings needed for the construction in the middle, but when I see the satisfied expression of the customer after the construction is completed, I know this is what he wants. This always fills me with happy energy
What particular aspects of your background shaped you as a designer?
When I was studying, I always admired designers or architects with beautiful hand-painted, especially Louis Kahn’s view of light, Wright’s design hand-painting beyond contemporary thinking, and Carlo Scarpa’s detailed hand-painted drawings, which are all for me. It has a great influence. So I think that as a designer, the hand-painting ability is essential.
What are your advices to designers who are at the beginning of their career?
See more, listen more, learn more, practice using the five senses to experience the environment and space, and try different cultural experiences. These will become the nourishment of a designer's creation.
How do you keep up with latest design trends? To what extent do design trends matter?
The Internet is already an important medium for acquiring modern trends. There are many new things or new materials that can be used, which is very interesting. However, there is too much information and it is easy to get lost in it. We must be able to calm down. Listen to your heart and establish your own values and beliefs. Trends are short-lived. A competent designer can create trends instead of following them.
How do you know if a product or project is well designed? How do you define good design?
How to know that a good design needs to be experienced.A good design naturally appears around you and provides its functions when you need it. Often people confuse design and art. Design is to solve problems, and art is personal creation. A good designer must have the ability to listen to needs, rather than making something that no one needs.
Who is your favourite designer?
Carlo Scarpa’s detailed design is admirable, and the craftsmanship design makes people yearn. If I can talk to the master, I hope I can talk to Carlo Scarpa and Wright about their belief in creation?

There is no doubt that Carlo Scarpa’s design is still stunning

How Maintaining the enthusiasm in your heart is very important. A good designer can constantly reflect on himself, improve his abilities and tap the endless enthusiasm in his heart
