Jonathan Yeung's architectural journey began through his deep appreciation for the physical and bodily experience of moving through carefully crafted spaces. Having grown up and studied across diverse places—Hong Kong, Kyoto, Cambridge, and Berkeley—he developed a sensitivity to how architecture resonates culturally, often in ways that transcend straightforward explanation. For Jonathan, architecture evolved from an embodied experience to a powerful form of expression, encompassing design, construction, and writing. Editorial work has naturally become an extension of this exploration, offering him a platform to reflect on architectural ideas from multiple perspectives.
He approaches editorial curation with a focus on issues that remain persistently relevant—topics that invite complex, multi-layered conversations grounded in social, cultural, or architectural dilemmas. He looks for projects marked by intentionality and excellence: works that push boundaries, refine the everyday into something exceptional, or reveal subtle spatial and material nuances that shape our experience of the built environment. His interest in architectural detailing stands out as a recurring theme, highlighting the craft and precision that contribute to enduring, timeless spaces often overlooked in broader discourse.
