Wine on the Terrace Benjamin Bartlett & Fanqi Sun

Benjamin Bartlett Fanqi Sun The project attends to the idea of the U-house, and the studio’s relationship to it. Having been demolished before we are able to experience it in person, we grapple with its meaning to us, to Toyo Ito and to the family it held.

The pavilion holds moments of the U-House, unrolling and dissecting it, measuring ourselves against it to better understand it before it is taken away.

The understanding of the U-House wall is only revealed where the studio members come together for the wake, our collective relationship to it allowing it to be seen one last time, making us all responsible for it.
