About

Hao Shan was born in Zhejiang, China. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design in Taiwan, and later completed a Master of Architecture (MArch, ARB/RIBA Part 2) at the University of Greenwich and a Master’s in History and Critical Thinking (HCT) at the Architectural Association. He also has professional experience in spatial design in Shanghai, having worked on several distinctive boutique stores and bars. His current research focuses on the temporal delay that emerges at the intersection of continuously reconfigured histories, architectures, and discourses — and on how this delay delineates the thresholds of the architectural discipline. He has recently completed a thesis at the AA that attempts to apply the epistemology of hauntology to the study of architectural history and human architectural experience. If you can’t find him, ask which bartender in town knows the most about tequila.
