STUDIO HUA JIAO

Ting-jia Zhang

Architect, artist and sound designer.

Ting-jia Zhang is a spatial and sound artist based in Tainan's old city center. He is dedicated to spatial design, art installations, brand identity integration, graphic design, experimental sound, and other related services. Zhang excels at integrating artistic and design practices across multiple scales. His work uses accessible, in-depth text to guide the viewer step-by-step in understanding his art and design concepts. Starting with an insight into the spontaneous, co-woven living spaces of the contemporary city, he draws upon psychology, philosophy, architecture, and art theory to articulate the frenetically interwoven creative atmosphere following the information explosion era, seeking contemporary adaptability for both the "user" and the "designer."
