FEI WANG
SELECTED WORK 2017 - 2020
[ PROLOGUE ] Thank you for reading my portfolio. This portfolio is a selection of my previous work that best reveals my interest in interior design. With six years of interior design study and one year of work experience, I have expertise in concept development, space planning, interior lighting, styling forming, and furnishing. I was raised in Shanghai, China, and spent the last three years studying and working in New York City. Born and developed in big cities, I am fascinated by different arts, cultures, beautiful architecture, and interiors. The inspirations of my design are always coming from galleries, museums, artworks, and interesting people. I like seeking stories from my surroundings and daily life, and I am especially interested in designing people-oriented spaces. In my projects, I pay attention to the user journey. It is crucial to think about how people could interact with space. While designing, I always want to combine technologies, space planning, and materiality to boost customer experience. I hope that people could enjoy and explore the space that I designed. In addition, I am interested in sustainable design because environmental problems become more and more critical nowadays, and green design is how interior designers can implement social responsibility. I feel excited to bring my knowledge and skill to design spaces that improve people’s life quality. Thank you for your time, and please feel free to contact me if you are interested in my work.

Sixth Floor
Design brief/ The mission of this new institution is to exhibit the healing power of photography. This museum exclusively exhibits the work of individuals who have struggled with mental illness and used their cameras to cope with the experience. The site is located at 23 West 20th Street, in New York City. Design concept/ The idea of the project is to showcase the healing power of photography. The routine of the entire exhibition is circuitous, which reflects the non-linear recovery process of mental health trauma. Materials of different transparencies are being used on different levels to create spaces from blurring and ambiguous to bright and clear. The shape of a camera lens inspires the overall design of the museum.

DEVELOPMENT The design starts from the section. The camera lens is used as the design language of this project. Initially, the overall section looks like a camera lens. According to the idea that the museum shows the photographers’ (who is struggling with mental health problems) inner self, the ‘camera lens’ are broken into pieces and overlap with each other.

Design brief/ Currently, the growing population of aging citizens has become a serious challenge, especially in large cities. In China, there are still few facilities or policies that help improve the quality of life for older people. Meanwhile, some retired seniors live alone. This nursing home design aims to address this problem. The site was previously a vegetable supermarket, and it is adjacent to a park and two hospitals. Design concept/ There is no doubt that a lot of older people live a lonely life. This design not only aims at bringing solitary seniors together but also aims at providing better healthcare services for them.
