Since 2023, Ting-jia Zhang has served as a collaborative expert at the circular design startup C-Cube, where he has maintained an ongoing partnership with JUN-EN Enterprise Corp. in the field of metal fabrication. Together, they have developed various design prototypes for the application of post-processed metal products in architecture and design. The development list is as follows:
[1] Modular and reversible solutions for perforated metal sheets in architecture and interior design.
[2] Modular and reversible solutions for expanded metal mesh in architecture and interior design.
[3] Modular and reversible solutions for spot-welded wire mesh in architecture and interior design.
[4] Solutions for gabion units in architecture and interior design.
[5] Modular solutions for the application of post-processed metal products in building facades.
[6] Solutions for the application of post-processed metal products in furniture and furnishing.
[7] Specialized coating applications for post-processed metal products.
[8] The relationship between hidden structural lines in building facades and urban textures.
[9] Service design integration for front-end and back-end applications of post-processed metal products.
[10] Research on the application of post-processed metal products in multi-layered facades.
The primary research focus of this project is the application of the 'expanded metal mesh frame system' to modular building facades.
