[Architecture is Public Art]

 

.........Through curatorial, critique, building, landscape, urbanism, culture, arts and community works, we begin to blur the identity of an orthodox Architect, meanwhile we blur the differences between architecture and public arts. The architectural history has shown a few radical changes due to societal reform through arts, science, philosophy, economics that most of those era lasted over 100 years in the past before modernity. Since 1980s liberation of the society and deconstruction, architecture follows along the waves of rapid globalized developments of cities after cities. Within 10 years or so, we have reached a point where architecture has become a pure consumption and not we see an uprising of the orthodox parallel with the liberated new world. The overlapped status quo of our society added by a series of recent world events points to a direction where we must be liberated again, the role of the architect shall once again expand, in order for the cities to survive, to continue their missions, to liberate people, to build freedom.
