李衎,2000年出生于浙江。他毕业于伦敦建筑联盟学院,获得建筑学学士和硕士学位。
其毕业设计《随时随地》是一项持续进行的研究,关注当代空间转型和技术系统如何将环境过程外化为惰性背景,以维持自身运转。
他的实践以建筑学思维与设计方法为依托,游走于深度分析和美学主张之间,两者相互促进、彼此检验。他的空间分析基于地理信息系统和遥感技术,藉此,空间转型和环境动态不再被视作既定事实,而是作为可被设计介入、亦能面向公众讨论的空间与美学条件。
在设计与研究之外,他长期投身于当代艺术与文化传播领域的编辑工作,与艺术家、设计师及科学家紧密协作,致力于将离散的信息提炼为可共享的知识体系。这些经验促使他在面向公众的传播形式中保持分析深度与论述复杂性的能力。
贯穿其工作的核心追问在于:可读性的条件——即可测量、可描绘和可认知的事物——如何界定行动的边界。他在视觉文化、技术系统与科学探究的交汇处展开工作,追问图像、文本、测量、数据与协议如何共同界定可见与可能的边界。
在市场理性和技术加速的支配逻辑下,他所感兴趣的是,设计如何成为一种生成性工具,重新定义问题的框架,而非仅仅提供预期的解决方案,以及设计成果如何成为一个可供他人继承和扩展的框架。
他的研究集中于以下领域:基于空间规划的水资源治理;可再生能源与城市规划的整合;企业与科技园区建筑;以及作为环境调解空间装置的电影工作室。
他的工作内容涵盖建筑和城市设计、战略规划咨询、空间数据分析与可视化、视觉传达与叙事构建,以及面向深度研究与公共文化传播的编辑工作。
Kan Li was born in 2000 in Zhejiang, China. He graduated from the Architectural Association in London with a BA and an MArch.
His diploma thesis project, Anytime Anywhere, is an ongoing inquiry into how contemporary spatial transformations and technological systems sustain themselves by externalising environmental processes as an inert backdrop.
Drawing on architectural thinking and design approaches, his practice moves between analytical rigour and aesthetic proposition, in which each register sharpens and tests the other. His spatial analysis is grounded in GIS-based methods and remote sensing, through which territorial transformation and environmental dynamics become legible not as matters of fact, but as spatial and aesthetic conditions that remain open to design intervention and available simultaneously for public address.
Alongside design and research, he has sustained a parallel engagement with editorial work across contemporary art and cultural communication. He has worked closely with artists, designers, and scientists to turn dispersed material into knowledge that can circulate. This experience has sharpened his capacity to carry analytical depth into public-facing formats without losing argumentative complexity.
Central to his work is a persistent inquiry: how the conditions of legibility – what can be measured, depicted, and known – delimit the scope of action. He works at the intersection of visual culture, technological systems, and scientific inquiry, examining how images, texts, measurement, data, and protocols shape what can be seen and acted upon.
Amidst the prevailing logic of market rationality and technological acceleration, what interests him is how design could become a generative device that reframes the problem rather than solely delivering the expected solution, and how the designed outcome becomes a framework others can inherit and extend.
His research concentrates on these areas: water governance through territorial spatial planning; the integration of renewable energy and urban planning; corporate and tech campus architecture; and film studio as a spatial apparatus for environmental mediation.
He works across architectural and urban design, strategic planning advisory, spatial data analysis and interpretation, visual communication and narrative development, and editorial practice for both in-depth research and public cultural communication.
