Il lavoro mira ad esplorare la progettazione di sistemi di architettura interattiva modulare per soddisfare varie esigenze temporanee o di emergenza nei relativi contesti. Nella vita quotidiana, le persone hanno le esigenze di costruzione in situazioni temporanee o di emergenza, come il mercato locale, il padiglione temporaneo nella settimana del design, le attività sociali o scolastiche, ecc. Le loro richieste possono essere soddisfatte dal sistema che ha adattabilità funzionale, flessibilità contestuale e spaziale variabilità dell'organizzazione. Può essere utilizzato da persone normali che non hanno competenze professionali e assemblate da sole. Vengono condotte ricerche teoriche su design modulare, architettura interattiva e struttura dispiegabile, che sono i tre elementi chiave del mio lavoro. Vengono studiati i vantaggi e gli svantaggi del design modulare e le sue applicazioni nel campo dell'architettura. Vengono discusse le nature funzionali e gli scenari applicativi dell'architettura interattiva. Molto lavoro è dedicato allo studio della struttura dispiegabile, che si riferisce alle caratteristiche dinamiche delle strutture e contribuisce alla capacità interattiva delle strutture. Dopo aver compreso questi argomenti, il progetto è completato. Al fine di comprendere le esigenze e le opinioni degli utenti, i sondaggi e le interviste vengono eseguiti durante le fasi di analisi degli utenti e di test degli utenti. Il progetto si sviluppa passo passo con le caratteristiche di schierabile, modulare e interattivo in modo logico. Quindi vengono dimostrati gli scenari applicativi del sistema di architettura interattiva modulare. Il prototipo è sviluppato con materiali e dettagli definiti, in grado di interagire con l'ambiente fisico e il comportamento umano. Molte immagini e video vengono registrati per mostrare il processo di distribuzione pieghevole e l'attributo dinamico del prototipo. Infine, viene verificato mediante test utente che il sistema progettato abbia le prestazioni previste. Il lavoro è stato seguito da due professori provenienti da due campi, l'interaction design e il design architettonico. Tradizionalmente, la progettazione architettonica si concentra principalmente su funzioni, forme e spazi, piuttosto che sugli utenti. L'edificio è il mediatore tra l'ambiente e gli utenti, è importante esplorare come le intuizioni degli utenti influenzano la progettazione architettonica. Quindi l'approccio alla progettazione UX viene applicato al progetto architettonico durante l'intero processo di progettazione, che è raro e nuovo nella progettazione architettonica. Il prototipo su piccola scala viene inoltre sviluppato per convalidare ed evolvere il progetto e garantire che i risultati del progetto soddisfino le aspettative, cosa non comune nella progettazione architettonica. Sono metodologie innovative che apportano nuovi concetti alla progettazione architettonica e contribuiscono al suo sviluppo. L'intersezione tra il design dell'interazione e il design architettonico è l'architettura interattiva, che è adattabile all'ambiente funzionale, spaziale e fisico. Offre un'esperienza utente interattiva dinamica piuttosto che predefinita, che ha grandi prospettive e potenzialità in futuro.

In the daily life, people have the construction needs in temporary or emergency situations, such as local market, temporary pavilion in design week, social or school activities etc. Their demands can be met by the system which has functional adaptability, contextual flexibility and spatial organization variability. It can be utilized by normal people who without professional skills and assembled by themselves. Theoretical research on modular design, interactive architecture and deployable structure are conducted, which are the three key elements of my work. The advantages and disadvantages of modular design and its applications in the field of architecture are studied.
