KAIMIN WANG

Kaimin, a senior undergraduate at Pratt Institute, majors in Interior Design with a minor in Sustainability. Curiosity and an exploratory spirit drive Kaimin's interdisciplinary experiments with new technologies and materials, probing the potential they offer to spatial design. With an iconoclastic approach, Kaimin disrupts conventional spatial order to forge experimental spatial languages.



At the Architectural Design and Research Institute of HIT, Kaimin contributed to the intricate design work for the Xinyang Sports Center. His role involved supporting the lead designers in implementing and modifying designs to comply with governmental requirements and budgetary limitations. Recognition in competitions such as the Young Architecture Competitions and UNI Moon Base 2124 evidences his design understanding and skills as demonstrated.
