Research Focus
Sustainable Environmental Art & Design

Academic Philosophy
This research investigates sustainable environmental art and design strategies within globalization, exploring its socio-economic-cultural impacts and implementation pathways. Key areas include:

·Comparative studies of sustainable urban/rural environmental design

·Low-carbon environmental art design

·Human-centered design methodologies

·Interdisciplinary intersections of art, science, and ecological history in environmental design

The work establishes theoretical frameworks transcending visual-centric approaches, integrating sociological, anthropological, and ecological perspectives to address China's design paradigm shifts.
