FS: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?
LD: Design studies the relationship between people and space, but the timeliness of space is also worthy of attention.

Here I want to quote a famous saying. “We don’t ask to be eternal beings, we only ask that things do not lose all their meaning.” — Antoine De Saint Exupéry
