About

邱氏的實踐涵蓋建築、空間研究、參與式觀察及出版，專注於氣候危機、政治經濟及在地文化對社群和自然生態的影響。邱氏認為建築不僅是物質建造，更是理解地方和與社群建立關係的方式，並關心被忽略的邊緣空間及人們的自發調適行為，期望促進專業與民間經驗之間的對話。 A graduate of The University of Hong Kong’s Department of Architecture, Yau’s work spans architecture, spatial research, participatory observation and publication, focusing on the climate crisis, political economy, and local cultural impacts on communities and ecosystems. Yau views architecture as a means to understand place and foster relationships, paying special attention to overlooked spaces and people’s adaptive actions, aiming to enhance dialogue between professional and grassroots experiences.
