Designer Interview
30 March 2020
I graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a Bachelor of Art in Architectural Studies. I have always wanted to be a designer and I believe design can even change the world, at least how people see the world.
The Food Story is an aspiring dining and lifestyle organization with an objective to curate and introduces new and trend-leading concepts to the Hong Kong and China markets.We believe every concept has its own history and story. And every story translates into different tastes and personal touches. The company also believes that project design has the biggest impact on the experience of dining and even the taste of food.
To me, design in verb form is basically the act of making the world; design in noun is basically what makes the world.
Design that can be inhabited by a person, such as interior space and architecture.
One of my favorite projects is called interlaced-void, an environmental architecture design project that I did for my final year at the university; the massing concept allows wind and natural light to get through almost every inch of the high-rise building in a dense city like Hong Kong. In terms of the experience of the design, the temperature and movement of nature become physically present.
The logo and the lightbox of a company.
It depends, mostly being alone at night.
Function and concept
It achieves the goal and which the concept can be further developed.
Concept, the story behind and the relationship between elements to form that.
A designer should make good concepts that can deliver positive messages and bring inspiration to the society and so to make our living environment different, colorful and rich.
