Rethinking space through movement
Li Wang's graduation project is rooted in human behaviour. She studies how people move, linger or change direction in public spaces. “I just sit, watch and analyse. Then I place objects to intervene in the patterns I've witnessed and see what happens.”
Her research is not about reinforcing fixed routes, but about questioning them. Even though she often has expectations, people tend to behave in ways that surprise her. “That’s what makes it exciting: human behaviour isn’t predictable, and that’s exactly the point.”
An artistic mindset, a spatial result
At Interior Architecture, students combine artistic thinking with architectural theory and technical tools. For Li Wang, this fusion is essential. “This programme connects me to the fundamentals. It's not just about how or what we build, but why.”
By letting her design follow movement, Li Wang adds a behavioral layer to architecture.
“In the current field, many designers make something and expect people to adapt. I want the design to adapt to people.”
Designing for the future
Li Wang’s goal is to take her research into practice. She aims to develop new spatial strategies based on real human movement. “It is a new thing that hasn’t fully been developed yet. I'm really looking forward to bringing this knowledge into the field.”
