Linda Zhang is an architect (OAA, AIA), interior designer (NCIDQ), creative technologist, and educator. She is the founder of Studio Pararaum / Para Lab and an assistant professor at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. Her spatial practice and research support community ownership and anti-displacement through architectural co-design. Since she returned to Tkaronto’s Chinatown in 2018, she has been documenting Chinatown East and West by 3D scanning the neighbourhoods’ built environments. From these 3D models, she creates architectural memory technologies and co-design platforms to build community power in Chinatown through co-imagination and co-remembering to envision a more generative, affordable, and culturally meaningful shared future(s) for all.
