Hi! I'm Bowen Zhou
The first time I saw a photograph of Earth, I imagined what it would be like to experience outer space. When I received my first iPad, I wondered how the digital could manifest as spaces you could move through. Those moments of wonder shaped how I see design—as a way of shifting perception and revealing new possibilities.
I live at the intersection of architecture, systems thinking, and experiential design. Trained in sculpture and industrial design, user
experience, and architecture, my approach is anchored in how spatial realities emerge from—and influence—dynamic interaction systems.
Across projects—from music halls in Japan to speculative urban systems for Hyundai and spatial interfaces for NASA—I’ve been driven by a consistent question: how can design operate as a generative system that reveals hidden frameworks rather than a fixed object?
As I progress with my Master's of Architecture at Yale, I’m looking to contribute to teams that experiment and expand how humans inhabit reality.
