Between 2024 and 2025, we worked with social workers and community staff in Pujiang County, Chengdu, to explore how participatory design can support community governance. Through the Lakeside Conversations and the Community Growth Wall, we developed infrastructures that embedded care and everyday participation into local practices. These interventions sustained resident-led actions beyond the design team’s presence and informed the county’s policy decision to expand the model to 16 sites.

In 2022, we worked with residents, students, and local authorities on Mayu Island to explore new approaches to sustainable tourism and cultural preservation. Using ethnographic research, collaborative mapping, and co-design workshops, the project culminated in the Masu dérive exhibition and informed a published paper in Island Studies Journal (2025).

Rural revitalization plan of
Ecui Village

This is a rural planning and design project with 'urban- rural linkage" as the starting point. After conducting field research for three months, we propose a development system that includes nature education and active ageing to change the dilemma of local labour loss and ageing. The core is taking advantage of the unique value of the village and attracting more people to experience and live here.

Smooth retail service for university students and faculty

Cooperating with the Choaren Pokphand group, we designed a campus market suitable for the college community. Based on the needs and patterns of students. We invented the entire system for the market, including the logistics system, supermarket layout, commodity strategy, etc.

In 2018, the supermarket "Minishop" was built to provide an efficient and smooth experience for 40,000 teachers and students of Shantou University.
