Biography
Guan Ze: Architect of Cultural Synthesis, born in 1992 in China’s north-eastern borderlands, Guan Ze’s childhood mastery of piano and painting—evidenced by provincial awards and works published in ‘Chinese Architectural Bridges’—foreshadowed her creative destiny. During her UK architectural master’s studies (2016), European journeys from Gaudí’s Barcelona to Nordic minimalism reshaped her spatial narratives, transforming introversion into expressive clarity. In 2020, she began her Ph.D. at Universiti Sains Malaysia, pioneering user experience-driven museum design through eye-tracking and behavioral trajectory analysis to decode emotional engagement, framing "space as dialogue." Her manifesto endures: "Design is a silent poem inscribed by footsteps across civilizations, each verse born from observing human nuances." From immersive Dunhuang cave projections to Zen-inspired therapeutic spaces in Ming Dynasty artifact exhibitions, she merges Eastern "contemplative objecthood" with dynamic visitor flow optimization and light-emotion algorithms, crafting empathy bridges between audiences and history through data-poetic design.
