FOLD UN FOLD is a free design platform for exploring sense of space.
It is an attempt to visualize our daily rituals, behavior and human relationship around objects.
Daring that these continuous series of rituals create a HOMESCAPE,
as continuous woven experiences in knitted time.
If we take a look at ‘The Lived-in House’,
we find an ‘event’ emerging at the centre of the house,
and the behaviour of ‘things’ that keeps
appearing and disappearing are related to this event,
and only the ‘places’ for them emerge in a sequence.*

MON ÎLE This installation was a challenge on how far artificial intervention in a natural setting can be recognized not only as an acceptable landscape, but also as an architectural spatial exploration. Little by little, architectural elements have been added, to bring out the power of the beautiful fallen tree and the flowers around it. Suddenly, the time comes when nothing more could be added. This is my island.
