Yushi Chen
About
Yushi Chen is a spatial designer with an academic background in both exhibition design and spatial storytelling. Her undergraduate studies focused on exhibition and display design, where she developed a solid foundation in spatial composition, curatorial logic, and audience circulation. At the postgraduate level, she shifted her focus to spatial narratives, exploring how multi-sensory inputs, behavioral pathways, and material language can be orchestrated to construct narrative experiences—both tangible and abstract.
Her design approach is grounded in systems thinking, emphasizing the organization of information, emotional guidance, and participatory interaction within space. Often working across media such as video, sound, lighting, and transformable structures, she investigates how space can move beyond being a static container to become a medium of perception, interpretation, and dialogue. Through project-based research and spatial prototyping, Chen aims to position space as a narrative arena that connects individual experience with broader social concerns.
