Yung Ho Chang, “Form, Content, and Total Design”

Описание: Event Description:

Through a range of projects of building as well as furniture, product, clothing, and other designs, attempts are made to redefine form as the deep framework that organizes structure and space rather than as figure or image, content as life scenarios rather than as functions, and total design as the way in which an architect may expand her/his practice into other creative disciplines and/or become part of content via involvement in programming rather than as a comprehensive architecture for the living environment.
