Project 1: Research on Spatial Experience Design based on the Study of User Needs
Contact Information:
Prof. Linong Dai
Email: Lndai@126.com
Project Description and Objectives:
To design a spatial experience, we should first understand the user's need for this space. By investigating the behavior of users and finding out their physiological and psychological needs, we can formulate the design goals of spatial experience. By comparing with other countries it will become a cross-cultural comparative study.

Project 3: Climate Adaption in Architecture and Urban Research
Contact Information:
Prof. Wenjun Ma
Email: mwj@sjtu.edu.cn
Project Description and Objectives:
Urban climate and its change have great influence in urban planning and development. More attention has been attracted to architecture and city research along with urban climates. This project is aimed at present climate situation and problems, such as urban heat island effect, air pollution, and unsatisfactory atmospheric conditions. The goal is to integrate urban climate into urban data models. We are eager to visualize urban dynamic data from various government departments or commercial institutes and organizations. We want to evaluate the urban climate carrying capacity. Thus, tentative experiments should be performed to analyze and summarize the root causes of urban problems. The ultimate goal is to explore and propose solutions by urban planning in architectures. During this project research, students will rediscover an urban phenomenon and master the methods of problem analysis.
