YIN-YANG- SPACES OF DICHOTOMY
In Asian Philosophy, Yin-Yang refers to the complementary nature of forces, light & dark, day & night, active & passive. We experience spaces in such oxymoronic ways; with this project's three phases of designs, we will experiment with this philosophy to dramatize this juxtaposition through the space that unites or divide us in our daily lives.
