Design is a way of life, a point of view. It involves the whole complex of visual communications: talent, creative ability, manual skill, and technical knowledge. Aesthetics and economics, technology and psychology are intrinsically related to the process. - Paul Rand

HOSPITALITY DESIGN
The project is in a hotel (36 stories) within a redeveloped (formally industrial) portion of Shanghai near a downtown location. This hotel will be developed as the finest hotel in the city. The hotel will become the premier destination for business people and the preferred venue for social events in the city. The hotel strives to achieve unique interiors, in harmony with contemporary architecture and reflective of the context and the market. The design ensures easy maintenance and lasting beauty space despite heavy traffic and the passage of time.

HOSPITALITY DESIGN
RESEARCH
As the business center of China, Shanghai is a bustling city. The sidewalk are crowded with people, and the street are heavy with traffic. This kind of atmosphere makes people nervous and tired. On the other hand, there is another aspect of Shanghai which is the traditional landscape where you can feel relaxed and calm.

RAN WANG
CONCEPT
As this is a business hotel, I am considering the needs of business people. The imperative factor is to attract them to the hotel and give them the most comfortable experience in Shanghai. Therefore, I decided to use Chinese Zen as the concept for this hotel. Because some Chinese temples have surrounding landscape, natural views combine with classic temple atmosphere to create a sense of relaxed feeling.

HOSPITALITY DESIGN
INSPIRATION
These images have inspired me so much with this hospitality design project. You can see the primary materials are wood and marble. I think these are the most natural feeling material to represent my concept.

CONCEPT SKETCHES

CONCEPT
My concept for this store is " Eclipse". As you know, an eclipse is rare to see. For this store, I want to use an eclipse to reveal that the merchandise in the store is the best and rarest in the market. Another espect of the concept is that an eclipse glows with white light, which is the original color and lighting scheme of Michael Kors store.
RAN WANG
INSPIRATION
I got the inspiration for the design from the whole process of an eclipse. This inspired me to create the illuminated door frame and the strip lighting in the ceiling. I want to use this concept to create a fantasy shopping experience for the customers.
24
RETAIL DESIGN
CONCEPT SKETCHES
I will transform the whole process of an eclipse into several LED strip lighting fixtures, like the hand sketch and the 3D image shows.

OFFICE DESIGN
CONCEPT
UNDULATE
Undulating architecture has its own beauty. I want to create an undulating office building with unique style. I was inspired by the Chinese ribbon dance. Normally, the shape of the ribbon is curved, but if you use your imagination, the ribbon can be abstracted into orthogonal lines. I will incorporate these shapes in the section of this building.

Uber is a company which provides taxis and private car services. I use black as the primary color and there will be a huge digital wall behind the reception area. This wall is a world map, and once a city has Uber service, the lighting fixture will become blue.
