On September 9th, Mr. Lai Zhenyu, Partner at LYCS Architecture, was invited to attend the 2025 Modern Shanghai Design Week. At the themed forum "Narrative & Symbiosis: Emotional Connections in Architecture and Interior Design," he delivered a keynote speech titled “The Past of the Future” sharing his design thinking and practical experience.
As a key platform promoting Chinese design globally, Modern Shanghai joins forces with leading media Interior Design (USA), with strong support from the Shanghai Interior Design and Landscape & Ecology Committees, to present an international forum bridging creativity, academia, and practice.
The forum aims to examine how designers can transform a spatial project into a living narrative—one that not only meets functional needs, but also evokes emotional resonance, conveys cultural value, and deeply connects with users' lifestyles.
