Senior🎓
Top SchoolYujia Zhai is an associate professor of Landscape Architecture at Tongji University with nine years of academic experience bridging design practice and empirical research on environment-behavior interactions. Trained with a Ph.D. in Design (Urban and Landscape) from North Carolina State University and dual degrees from Tongji, she specializes in how urban park design affects physical, mental, and social health using GIS, remote sensing, space syntax, and big recreation datasets. Her work blends design thinking and quantitative methods to ask uncommon questions—such as whether the beauty of natural scenery can be objectively measured and linked to wellbeing—and to translate those findings into actionable design features. She teaches studio courses from hotel and plaza design to traditional Chinese gardens, grounding pedagogy in interdisciplinary research and digital visualization. Based in Shanghai, she combines a designer’s sensitivity with data-driven rigor to narrow the gap between academic insight and real-world urban landscape practice.
