Ming Tang’s interview was featured in the article “The human touch“, by David Malone, editor of the Building Design + Construction magazine. Vol. 31. 04. 2018. The issue is about the TECH REPORT 5.0: Cognitive Architecture, Artificial Intelligence, Real-time Rendering, Digital Media. Tang discussed the emerging research on eye-tracking and way-finding in Architecture and interior design.
Our project is featured in the summer edition of IDSA’s Innovation quarterly. “Design for ________”. by Jacqueline Kern. The article discussed the UC and Live Well Collaborative’s Boeing Onboard project which was covered at UC Magazine in Spring 2018.
I was honored to be selected as a finalist for the 2009 Earth Awards in New York, where I had the opportunity to present my project, Folded Bamboo + Paper House, and participate in the awards gala at the Four Seasons.
The Earth Awards brought together a diverse group of designers and innovators exploring ideas for a more sustainable future. It was especially meaningful to be part of a cohort invited to share work with leaders across design, engineering, and environmental fields, and to be interviewed during the event.
The selection committee and jury included an exceptional group of thinkers and practitioners—from architecture and design to science and policy—which made the experience both humbling and inspiring. I was particularly impressed by the breadth of perspectives represented.
Congratulations to Neri Oxman, whose project was named the winner that year.
Looking back, the experience was less about recognition and more about the exchange of ideas—an early moment that reinforced my interest in design experimentation that continues to shape my work today.
