Thesis of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, 2022
Master Interior Architecture (INSIDE)
Driven by the author's personal experience, this thesis investigates the changing sense of community among Chinese students abroad. Through ten interviews and relevant theoretical readings, I discover a transitional journey of this sense of community: sprouted in a condensed living condition in dormitory, practiced in the basic daily activities and extended in the misuse of public teaching spaces. This transitional journey is currently facing challenges during Chinese students’ overseas study. How will this community sense continue without its previous habitats?(condensed dormitories, etc) How will this community sense deal with new upcoming factors?(language barrier, etc) In dealing these challenges, I emphasize the need for a conceived situation that allows participants to act on the possible challenges.
