Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZiyi Zhang is a Research Assistant and Master's candidate in Landscape Architecture at Harvard GSD with nine years of cross-disciplinary experience blending landscape design, digital technology, and interactive media. He specializes in integrating environmental data, parametric design, and web/interactive systems to inform and visualize landscape projects, including work on the Stadt Park-Donau study and award-winning installations. Ziyi has hands-on experience across interaction design, game-like real-time visualizations, and data-driven interfaces—skills he applied to civic and biennial projects such as MIMMI and Cloudscape. At Harvard he supports studios and labs by teaching coding, immersive representation, CNC workflows, and rapid prototyping, bridging theory and fabrication for students. Comfortable moving between conceptual master plans and technical implementations, he brings both project management and creative coding fluency to design research. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate weather and ambient data into compelling visual narratives that directly shape landscape proposals.
