We would like to thank DFUN Magazine for the feature in this issue, which uses the concept of the "Fifth Quadrant" as a metaphor to introduce the widely sought-after idea of cross-disciplinary collaboration. The magazine features an interview with the founders: PIN-HO WANG and PIN-SHIAN WANG.
Finance and Design × Rationality is the ultimate form of Sensitivity.
"When perspectives are reversed for self-reflection, we often see the blind spots we couldn't see before."
The article begins by addressing the questions posed by clients and industry peers over the years. It explains how the integration of sensitive design thinking, which fosters creative ability, combined with rational data-driven logic to analyze the market, has been key.

In fact, these differences help the team develop a habit of viewing things from a holistic perspective, preventing rigid thinking patterns from taking hold.
The conversation on the day of the interview touched upon growth, learning, and shared insights into business philosophy and viewpoints. It reinforced the notion that, whether in product or space design, the core focus remains on people. The team has always strived to create an open work environment that embraces cross-disciplinary roles. This continues their exploration of new perspectives and possibilities in an open and diverse way, while approaching everyday matters with care, attention, and an eagerness to learn and think at every moment.
"Perhaps, the term 'cross-disciplinary' itself is an outdated description. There has always only been one world, where the differences are simply roles and perspectives."
