We are excited to announce and welcome our next artist in residence Taipei-based award-winning architect, curator, critic and writer Ching-Yueh Roan 阮慶岳. This residency is in collaboration with Satellites, with Roan arriving in Tāmaki Makaurau next week and Pōneke on the 4th of November.
In this talk, Roan Ching-Yueh will share two of his curatorial projects in Taiwan that tested bottom-up design possibilities in modern Asian cities. Through these, he asks: what conventional cultural, social, moral and religious structures are we losing through the emergence of a global singular system? In which directions might a modern Taiwan city evolve, and can architects build from an angle closer to reality?
In this workshop with Taiwanese architect, curator and writer Ching-Yueh Roan 阮慶岳, participants are invited to share three photos from their daily routes in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Drawing on the methodology of traditional Chinese acupuncture, these photos will serve as the starting point for a discussion on how to improve the quality of the city.
