SIGEN CHEN



Sigen Chen is currently a student in Master of Architecture program at University of Michigan. He thinks the architecture is the definition by human and space together. So he is very intersted in the interaction between human and space. The interaction is generating different types of space, which influence the human-space relationship and redefine themself again. After being expose to the parametric design, Sigen Chen keeps exploring different factors that are driving the design. With wider and deeper understanding, He is fascinated by the integration of digital tools and methodologies into the design process. The computational logic with sociological data is not only questioning the boundary of architecture, but also reshaping our perception of space.
