Chih-kang Chu

Chu Chih-Kang Founder and Design Director of Chu Chih-Kang Space Design National Taiwan University of Arts, BA Shih Chien University, Product and Architecture Design, MA Chu comes from Taiwan and has been exposed to rich culture since his childhood. Chinese cultural elements, which are not superficial but with deep cultural connotation, could always be found in his design. Combined with his keen observation of scenario, his works could always awaken those emotions in people’s memories. That is why his works could touch readers’ heart. His works touch not only Chinese who have shared cultural memories, but also westerners. “In Chu’s works, we see new modern eastern design” said such westerners.
