Peiyi Phoebe Yao

Peiyi Phoebe Yao is an architectural researcher and designer at Harvard's Graduate School of Design, pursuing a post-professional degree in architecture. Her research asks how culture and architecture can be understood, translated and valued as AI and emerging technologies reshape the field.

Alongside this inquiry, she is developing an architecture-focused cultural navigation platform connecting art, lifestyle and travel. The platform translates her research into a public-facing practice. Her Culture Dynamics studiolab project explores architectural value, design and cultural systems.
