Interview with AART. AT Design

Design for me has always meant the creation of new ways of looking at things. It's a way of looking at life differently. This is the total motivation for me.

We choose to be architect, it's wonderful

Architecture, light design for buildings and landscape. All types of architecture or space always have an interesting story. If one is urged to choose among them, perhaps architecture related to art, history and nature.

Try to develop it in maximum depth. For architecture, traveling is essential and allows young designers to understand life and the essentials in architecture.

In my opinion, a great designer can be distinguished from other designers by his special "magic". It could be translated by his sensations or creations, as an artist, regardless of the technique.

For me, a good design in architecture is a good understanding of the history of the place itself, the users, and from there, establish its own logic.

Álvaro Siza, Herzog & De Meuron

In the life of our society, there are always negative points, complexities... Not only can design improve the quality of life, the bottom line is that it allows people to see "elsewhere", and to watch life differently, and help people overcome difficult moments in life.

- I think that in the near future, an evolution will occur towards an individual design. Thanks to NTIC (new technologies of information and communications), also to globalization, the difference between an expert and an individual is reduced enormously. Every individual now has access to professional information, tools, and knowledge. In addition, the individualization of lifestyle is developing at a high speed. The next step in the design will probably be to move great power to the hand of each individual, as in other areas.

We use a variety of softwares and equipmentx ranging from concenpt sketching and drawing, to 3D softwares such as Rhinoceros, Sketchup.
As well as the Adobe programs.
For the lighting design, the software dialux is also used for lighting configuration.
V-ray is also highly used in our agency.

It is difficult to judge these elements separately. the color is related to the reflection of the material, the color is reflected differently on each material. The Ambience is the result of all this.
It is all of these elements that form the final moods, and that diaogue with users and visitors, in time and space.

I will be very interested to know the process that led to this design, what is the idea and research behind.

Solve real problems and create great experiences throughout pertinent methods.

Through the design of space, change the way of people's behavior, stimulate people's new cognition of space

there is no one favorite design for me. and i appreciate all the design who touche people from a deep level of sensibility and rationality

architecture design for a Science and technology museum

The relationship between space and human behavior, and how to find design concepts between sensibility and logic.

When designing, i forget myself and all the surrounding. Each time when I find a good concept that expresses well what I want, I’m extremely excited

Excitement and pride

A good cooperation between all the participants.

If it adapts well to the situation, responds well to any concerns. And if it is able to stimulate people’s emotions and imagination.

An essential part of design is to be able to "improve" people’s lives and to guide them to think differently about how to live. So, a good designer must face great social and environmental demands.

The future design will mainly meet the increasing individualization of our lifestyles, as well as interacting with new technologies.

Often, it comes from our feelings of the five senses during the experience in nature. Because, as a human, I always believe that sensations are stimulated throughout our senses.

I lived half of my life in China and then in Paris, France. Surely, the Chinese cultural heritage is deeply inscribed in me. In addition, it was during my stay in Paris, with such a distance, that I was able to better understand the difference between Chinese and French culture, in order to finally understand both of them

be logic and sensitive at the same time
