Chu Yao entered the master's program in Environmental Design at St Petersburg University after graduating from the Bachelor's degree in Environmental Design at the Henan Institute of Urban Engineering.
The theme of the master's thesis on the creation of creative spaces, mainly interior, is partly based on his bachelor's thesis. In order to develop the topic, Chu Yao carefully studied the examples of various creative spaces, qualitatively analyzed domestic and foreign literature, collected practical materials on the research topic, made the necessary generalizations and conclusions.
The relevance of the study is due to the request of the Kirov Palace of Culture for the development of design concepts for the reorganization of the environment of the Palace, in particular, by holding a competition of project proposals.
Chu Yao demonstrated a high interest in the topic, the ability to analyze and systematize the collected information, as well as the ability to propose and develop original ways to implement the proposed ideas.
In the work on the graphic part of the dissertation, the mastery of all the tools of the environment designer is shown.
