Designer, researcher, and artist working across material research, spatial design, installation, and speculative practice.
Yuliang Kang explores how materials, environments, and technical systems shape perception, ritual, and the ways people relate to the world. His projects move between experimental material studies, spatial narratives, and speculative worlds, often using making as a way of thinking.
He studied at the Royal College of Art and the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and has worked across design practice, research, and teaching.
