Architecture is subordinate to the environment

This philosophy emphasizes site selection and environmental adaptability, . Buildings do not dominate the environment but extend naturally, engaging in a 'dialogue' with their surroundings.

Interview

There are big barriers to the dissemination of Stylized Lei architecture, so I wanted to gain insight into the different perspectives and views of various parties. Therefore, I interviewed ordinary university students, architecture students, and senior architecture professors.

The gradual decline of Yangshi Lei architecture

With the rapid development of the economy, society generally emphasizes economic gains and practical applications, and traditional architecture are perceived to lack direct practical applications and are thus neglected.

Game flow

Starting from analyzing what young users enjoy, I decided to create a game that blends Reality, Digital, and VR elements, and have since developed a comprehensive user flow to bring this vision to life.

Iteration

During the ideation and manufacturing process, I conducted three rounds of user tests to ensure that the game details and flow met my expectations. I also used the FSS test for evaluation.

FSS Test & Score
FSS evaluates user experience by measuring engagement, ease of use, and cognitive load during an interaction.
