Yingzi Cui

I hold a Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture, with a strong interest in the cultural, ecological, and political dimensions of space. One of my key projects presents a speculative vision of a post-capitalist city, where automation and collective living reshape labor, identity, and autonomy under a subtle yet pervasive system of control. Another project reimagines the human–river relationship along the Hackensack River by drawing on Lenape knowledge, while also advocating for Indigenous river rights. Through narrative and design, I aim to provoke dialogue on freedom, belonging, and ecological justice in both imagined and real landscapes.
