Places shape us.
We shape places.
I’m Yihan, an urban planning master’s student at the National University of Singapore. My work connects spatial research, planning and design.
From regional and village planning to public-space design, I am interested in how places adapt to changing needs—and how careful observation becomes a spatial proposal. My experience spans Singapore, international design practice and local planning in China.
