Qisen Yang
Earl’s Court

Qisen Yang is an interior designer from Shanghai, China. With a unique perspective on spatial design, he focuses particularly on exploring boundaries, using this as a starting point to address challenges related to spatial interactions and interpersonal relationships. His design works frequently employ reusable materials and flexible structures to dissolve social barriers, encouraging public interaction and cooperation, breaking down information cocoons, and fostering a more open and inclusive social environment.

Located next to the Earl’s Court construction site in London, this project creates a flexible station for cyclists, construction workers, and the public. Many construction workers—often migrants—remain socially and physically separated from the communities they build.

To respond to this gap, the design uses soft, movable modules based on elastic connection logic.Instead of breaking boundaries, the space gently adjusts them—making them flexible and shared.Three main design moves—opening the facade, adding vertical voids, and removing internal walls—help create a dynamic space where people can meet naturally.
