A lot of content in life can make up beauty, and beauty is a result. On this journey, there are many different interpretations and choices. As an architect and interior designer, through design, Chen Xuan maintains the regeneration and restoration of the natural system, making the space unique and attractive. This time, we will share the space created by the designer from living space, work space, human space, and commercial space, and explain that beauty is not only beauty, but also a result. Through design, beauty becomes one kind. It is the life gifted by the human being.

In the Internet age, the identity of architects has begun to change. Traditional architects are relatively passive, single, and one-way to solve problems. Under the background of the times, the social nature of architects is constantly strengthened. We need to become an active, complex, and multi-directional organizer. We hope to jump out of the scope of architectural design, use space as a carrier to empower various fields, explore and consider the possibility of urban environment improvement and rural revitalization under the current system and social development status. I will share the recent parallel design practice in both urban and rural areas, try to use architecture to respond to this era and build a truly valuable space in a specific environment, so as to bring value overflow to capital and bring demonstration samples to the government. Bring quality improvement to the countryside, heal homesickness for urban elites, and bring a new experience to end users.
