Hi, I’m Hopura Chen — a spatial designer who thinks through making.
I explore the interaction between body and space through model-making, material experiments, and structural strategies.
Whether it’s rotating rooms, mirrored corridors, or scaffold systems, I try to create spatial rhythms that invite perception and interaction.
One of my favorite characters is Patrick Star from SpongeBob.
He often builds strange and playful spaces by casually shaping furniture out of sand.
I’m drawn to that sense of freedom in chaos — building without rules, guided only by instinct.
I believe space is always changing; it doesn’t have to be fully defined from the beginning.
