Welcome Daisy Ziyan Zhang
Trained and practised as an architect, Daisy is a filmmaker, braiding narratives of the built environment through the lens of people.
Borrowing film as a medium to research, communicate and connect, Daisy's work attempts to question established norms of building, and craft new imaginaries of the quotidian. Her ongoing project, “Wrinkles”, explores the in-between of documentary and 3D scanned data to understand the ageing of architecture, reciprocal caretaking, and various forms of cohabitation with nature. She is a MacDowell Fellow artist, and holds a Master of Architecture degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her work has been exhibited and awarded internationally, including Image Forum Festival, Architecture Film Festival Rotterdam, Venice Architecture Film Festival, Copenhagen Architecture Festival, Istanbul International Architecture and Urban Films Festival, etc., and acquired as permanent collection by the MIT Museum.
She is an external page observer.
The Chair of Circular Engineering for Architecture (CEA) develops research on matching reused architectural materials with people and projects through digitalization for a circular built environment. For more information visit our webpage.
