Renegotiation 
                        
Rui Gao




The Renegotiation is a design research project exploring the dynamic relationship between the human body and its environment. Using posture as a medium, I employ simple objects or gestures to initiate embodied “negotiations” across diverse settings—from natural landscapes to urban infrastructure such as traffic lights and underground railways. Each intervention investigates how subtle shifts in presence alter our spatial and social dialogues.
