Yingzixuan Wang

About

Yingzixuan Wang is a spatial designer and environmental researcher focused on exploring the multifaceted relationships between the environment and climate change. Her interests lie in the politics of air and architecture, constantly reflecting on our understanding of air and connecting it to the ongoing struggles for a just future. Her work also reimagines relationships, nature, and the built environment, as well as community engagement, through multiple media.

Yingzixuan Wang’s academic background is in Media Construction and Architecture direction, using digital means to address issues arising in architecture and environmental design. Before joining the Environmental Architecture master’s program at the Royal College of Art, her work leaned towards parametric algorithms and spatial interaction design, and she participated in a series of related design projects in China.

During her studies at the Royal College of Art, her research topic was the ecology of war migration in the atmosphere. “Atmospheric Protocol” will appear as a series of atmospheric residencies, and this work will serve as a manual to understand new dimensions of war, wind, and atmospheric territorial infringement.

Our project Atmospheric Protocols explores the migration of war through the atmosphere, architecture and politics, visualising these invisible forces. The platform includes evolving guidelines, community contributions and interactive tools for understanding and engaging with the state of the atmosphere, highlighting the entanglement between meteorological, political, social and personal climates.

In an environment where colonialism and occupation are ubiquitous, where even the air we breathe is militarised and weaponised, participation in these actions is not only a symbol of information and knowledge, but also an act of resistance, defiance and solidarity.
