YU ZHOU PORTFOLIO
Design Simple, abundant Involving, creating, making Inspiration comes from intuition, develops with thoughts Quality
For me, design comes from designer’s intuition and develops with their creative thinking. Design has the quality of dichotomy, even when the outward is simple, the inward could be very complex and abundant. It involves strong ideas, creative thinking and the process of making. Good design should present quality.

S K ETCH E S
The component will use the idea about the bees buzzing in and out the honeycomb to design.
With four build-in zonings, children can climb into each and play inside of them. The lighting inside are eye-protect LED lightings. There are some spots on the ground that provide seats for people to sit inside or sit on the boundaries. Parents can keep their eyes on their children when they are sitting in these spots. Also, it is a good zoning area for parents to communicate to each other.
