Zhenhan Hao obtained his BA from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, China in 2011 and has recently graduated from an MA in Design Products at the Royal College of Art, London, UK. With various experiences of study and life in China and Europe, working with people from different fields Hao has developed a unique understanding of how the existing production systems operate, how local and global contexts interact and how tradition and modernity can stimulate meaningful opportunities. Centering on the concepts of emergence, self-organization and co- evolution, his approach often engages with people, environments rather than limited by identity, materials or academic disciplines.
