Wen Zhi Ding
— Gardeners of Cultural Essence
Uncovering Cultural Essence • Blooming Through Thoughtful Planning
From research to practice,
we cultivate like gardeners—
nourishing culture with research, fieldwork, and planning,
growing value that is visible, meaningful, and shareable.
“Wen Zhi Ding” is a cultural planning studio dedicated to uncovering the essence of culture. With a team grounded in both academic research and practical field experience, we trace historical contexts, collect stories on site, and transform them into contemporary, relatable experiences that bring culture into everyday life.
Like careful gardeners, we integrate research, planning, and communication to help cultural values take root—growing into sustainable, public-minded cultural actions. We collaborate across sectors, working with government agencies, nonprofits, community groups, and professional teams to build effective bridges between ideas and practice.
