Linda Zhang (she/her) is an architect (OAA, AIA), interior designer (NCIDQ), creative technologist and educator. Her spatial practice and research supports community ownership and anti-displacement through architectural co-design. Since she returned to Tkaronto’s Chinatown in 2018, she has been documenting Chinatown East and West by 3D scanning the neighbourhoods’ built environments. From these 3D models, she creates architectural memory technologies and co-design platforms to build community power in Chinatown through co-imagination and co-remembering to envision a more generative, affordable and culturally meaningful shared future(s) for all. We consider our practice to be a provocation of space’s capacity to communicate through felt experience—affect as a design process towards lived experience.
