Academic Philosophy
Environmental design manifests social culture in physical space, while psychological and spiritual spaces represent higher-order cultural expressions. Research on "intangible culture" surpasses mere "form and function," particularly in public cultural spaces. Pedagogically, this approach emphasizes preserving profound cultural interpretations over superficial formal creativity. Academically, it addresses urban environmental culture during China’s societal transformation, advocating for cultural strategy-led urban renewal and interdisciplinary integration. Teaching integrates design management to foster student autonomy in planning and execution, balancing metaphysical system-building (philosophical frameworks for societal needs) and physical practices (aesthetic refinement and logical workflows).
