Hi! My name is Jie Zhou. I completed my undergraduate studies in Architecture in China and I am currently studying MA Architecture and Adaptive Reuse at MSA.

I have always been very interested in community regeneration projects because communities are important places where people connect with society. A well-designed community environment can encourage interaction, strengthen people’s sense of belonging, and provide support and resources for different groups. What particularly attracts me to this community project is its focus on young people. Providing them with a safe, open and engaging space is very important for their growth and their participation in society.

I am really looking forward to participating in this project and to working with other students to explore how spatial design can bring more positive impacts to the community and young people.
