Featured architects

The works displayed in this exhibition are members of a constellation. The architects represented in the exhibited projects have come from and currently operate in disparate Eastern regions and cities but have all laid the foundation of their career here at the Yale School of Architecture. Though existing separately and independently, the projects share Western ideologies and Eastern identities, making them appear discrete yet similar at the same time.

The exhibition serves as a platform to bring the projects into dialogue—to construct the lines that create out of seemingly disparate stars a network of larger images, ideas, or identities. While the models stand on different heights—demanding that they be examined in close detail and with postures specific to the object itself—there is also room to step back and examine the models altogether: a process of stepping closer to and away from that seeks to raise awareness of how attention to the detail in the individual projects can also make visible a common thread that ties them all together.
