ABOUT TRAX
Formulating problems and locating problems articulates architecture: it is both sensitive and sensible in its unique spatial, social and cultural context. It deals with details, manipulates lights and distinguishes itself between introspective and retrospective spaces. I treasure these moments when space is transcended into meditation, light into peace, and the impossible into possible. I enjoy challenges and can organize my time effectively to develop a concept into a drawing, and a project into a design.
Yinan Wang (Trax) is a meticulous architectural and urban designer and a productive working machine.
