Live interview with architect Dong-Ping Wong as part of Virtual Design Festival

Architect Dong-Ping Wong will speak to Dezeen in a live Screentime conversation sponsored by Enscape as part of Virtual Design Festival. Interview will begin at 2pm UK time.

Wong, who is the founder of New York-based studio Food New York, will discuss his work with Dezeen's founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs.

His firm frequently works with fashion designer Virgil Abloh, having designed several of the flagship stores for Abloh's fashion brand Off-White.

At the 2019 Design Indaba conference, Abloh and Wong produced a sketch design for a city during a 15-minute video call live on stage in Cape Town.

Wong has also previously designed projects for musician Kanye West, including the studio for his fashion brand Yeezy in Calabasas, California and the stage design for his 2013 Yeezus tour.

Food New York is also currently building a bathhouse in the Cayman Islands, constructed entirely by hedges and a floating swimming pool that will clean the water of New York's Hudson river.
