In 2011, Kenya Hara of Hara Design Institute launched the project “House Vision.” Its mission is to build homes with a “new common sense,” instigating a series of discussions with renowned Japanese architects and firms on “future residences.”

In 2013, five Chinese architects, Yung Ho Chang, Wang Yun, Wang Hui, Zhou Yanmin, and Liang Jingyu, launched a non-governmental academic research team entitled Resident Research. Its purpose is to break Chinese residential design out of its market-oriented development, exploring new, experimental models to incorporate into the real estate industry. Each member of the research team works within a different field, including buildings, vehicles, appliances, and furniture.

In this talk, Yung Ho Chang will summarize the history of bicycles in China and the roles they might play in future cities. Japanese product designer Sunami will then join him to discuss how to incorporate bicycle usage into residential architecture to create more multifunctional urban plans.
