Cheng Gong explores how Snøhetta's designs fundamentally orchestrate human experience through spatial relationships

Cheng Gong, Studio Director China, is invited to speak at Design Shanghai 2026. 

The sharing, titled "Sensing Space – Architecture as the art of preposition" will explore how Snøhetta's designs fundamentally orchestrate human experience through spatial relationships. Moving beyond form and function, Snøhetta frames architecture as the art of in, out, under, through, and between—the prepositions that define our bodily and emotional engagement with the built environment. This philosophy will be illuminated through iconic projects where landscape, architecture and other disciplines are seamlessly integrated, inviting occupants not merely to observe, but to actively participate within a setting, to experience how thoughtful spatial choreography can cultivate connection, wonder, and a profound sense of belonging, positioning architecture as a vital medium for shaping human narrative and perception.
