"The Stage," conceived and designed by Yuting Zhang and the team, is an architectural installation situated within a residential neighborhood in Shanghai. The project revitalizes a previously underutilized circular flowerbed and transforms it into a flexible platform for community interaction and everyday rituals. Employing a lightweight steel structure, the design reinterprets the spatial typology of the circular stage, fostering multifaceted uses, including play, relaxation, and performance, while engaging users of all demographics.

The project is documented through a series of photographs and video clips that explore the interaction between the installation and its users. By functioning as a perception device, "The Stage" frames and amplifies the rhythms of daily life, revealing the socio-cultural patterns that define community dynamics. Zhang’s work interrogates the role of public installations in urban settings, examining their capacity to act as catalysts for collective identity and cultural expression. This project contributes to academic conversations on the redefinition of public spaces in dense urban environments, blending architecture with narrative exploration.
