Catty Dan Zhang is an assistant professor of architecture at UNC Charlotte. Her work experiments the design of active atmosphere at the convergence of digital media and architecture, and the overlap of human and machine perceptions. She was a finalist of the Wheelwright Prize in 2018, received recognition in the AN Best of Design Awards in 2019, won the inaugural Emerging Designer’s Exhibition Competition and had her solo exhibition entitled “The Moving Air” at UC Berkeley in 2020, which explores the cultural, social, and environmental uptakes of technological investigations on ephemeral and invisible mediums and their emotional impacts. Her design work has been featured in exhibitions at the London Design Festival, Carnegie Museum of Arts, A+D Museum, Harvard GSD, UNC Charlotte, among other institutions. Zhang holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Tsinghua University, a Master of Architecture with Honors from Washington University in St. Louis, a Master in Design Studies degree in Technology from Harvard University Graduate School of Design where she was the 2017 recipient of the Daniel L. Schodek Award for Technology and Sustainability. She has practiced in the US and China, previously worked with Axi:Ome as a design principal, and taught at Washington University in St. Louis prior to joining UNC Charlotte.
