Xi (Josie) Zuo

As an international student specialising in spatial design, I've developed a growing passion for spatial layout, modelling, and rendering throughout my undergraduate studies. Moreover, my proficiency in spoken language has improved significantly as my expertise in the field has advanced. Through 3 years, I've come to understand that the essence of exceptional design lies in the meticulous and pragmatic decisions crafted throughout the design journey.

Mycelium Maze

During this semester, our studio is called 'The Future of Play'. In the future, increased environmental awareness will drive the use of sustainable, biodegradable materials. As technology advances, children will look forward to nature-based play experiences alongside their digital lives. The project, "Mycelium Maze," envisions the Future of Play, where environmentally friendly mycelium materials replace traditional ones. It integrates nature, play, and innovation, allowing children to witness mycelium growth and changing surroundings over time.
