“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

More Architecture Installations


Li-Huang Ku's Interbreeding Field consisted mostly of slats. It was cool to walk on them, their obvious texture translating the smooth gallery floor.

Ching-Yueh Roan's Micro Cities was about restoring some kind of functionality after earthquakes.

Chaolee Lu and Ke-Fang Liou's Dark City was a kind of architectural Rothko. You walked between one wall that was a giant dark photo, and another wall that was totally black. The blackness seemed to have tremendous depth.

Chen I-Chun's Epidermis Factory was a marvel of relative motion. It appeared to move in three directions at widely differing speeds as the imagery scrolled by.
