We, as the Designer Interviews ("DI") had the distinct pleasure and opportunity to interview award-winning, most creative and innovative Peng Xiaohua, Chen Qi, Deng Juan ("PXCQDJ").
Peng Xiaohua graduated from Changsha University of Science and Technology, majoring in art design. He is now the presiding designer of Shenzhen P.ONE Design Consultant Co., Ltd and the executive President of the 7th Institute of Guangtian Architectural Decoration Design and Research Institute of Shenzhen city. Specializing in architectural design/cultural space design/exhibition space design/public building space design/commercial space design, hotel space design and office space design. Personal academic point of view: Interior design is the incremental core thinking of artistic sublimation of project products, and the relationship between the main and the auxiliary is endowed by our design. In stylist Peng Xiaohua looks: the stand or fall that designs depends on thinking, do not depend on style. Throughout the ages, no matter eastern civilization or Western civilization, no civilization is absolutely superior to another civilization. In the west there was the glory of the Greek and Roman periods, and in the East there was the heyday of the Han and Tang dynasties. It's just that at different times, one civilization may be more open and inclusive than another. Therefore, culture should exchange with each other, so does design. Good design should reflect and compare ancient and modern cultures and Chinese and foreign cultures. Whether it is the tulou in song and Yuan Dynasties or the lagonia city-states in ancient Greece, openness and communication are needed if they are to become classics for a long time. Good architectural design should be instructive for people, in addition to a complete works have certain recognition and focus, users have to interpret metaphor, the space of express and focus are smart contains the local humanities and tension, to the local culture as the focus to enlarge and extend. Only with these can users have interest in the space, so as to interpret the space, and space dialogue, finally resonate. The essence of design, he argues, is not to make us more profound, but to restore human innocence. Naive people will have endless access to the truth about the world, about nature, about society, about human beings. It is the naivety of Darwin, Picasso, Gu Zhu and Mu Xin that design creates... That is, those "mature people" dismissive of "authenticity." His design team has been adhering to "know your era, lead your era"; We will treat all kinds of cultural blocks as if they were withdrawn, and then combine the points to form a unique thinking system for design planning and design implementation management. At the same time, I firmly believe that architecture can infect a person. Architecture is not only to create an aesthetic, but also a kind of culture. When it really reaches a certain height and depth, it can change the heart and manner of a person or even a group of people; The future architectural design must pursue the wealth of memory, happiness and thinking, so as to contribute to the present "Great art Era". His team takes design and creative research and development as its theme. The team has been adhering to the attitude of unity, openness, equality, collaboration and sharing to design each project. It has been committed to the design and creative research and development of cultural and art space, exhibition space, public building space and other projects.
