Transcending Boundaries
Transcending Boundaries Zewei Feng Selected work from 2019-2021
The concept of transcending boundaries was raised by Professor Biao Xiang in University of Oxford in his book with same name. At this moment, we are all living in the times that everything is being developed rapidly. We are pushed to face and adapt the tremendously growing era in a passive manner that we have no time to spare for break and introspection. Technology brings us forward, but it also sets up voids that isolate our community. We take these given conveniences for granted but forgot how we come to this state. While we respect the trend that the times is progressing in a complicated but inevitable mode, conscious adjustment is necessary to keep this whole entity from moving too fast to lose its balance. Through architectural studies, we could replace the isolative vacuum with a resilient membrane that could always grow along with the development of the culture and society. As an architect, I want to become the moderator in our society to study and comprehend the rhythm of the times, attempting to promote and maintain the healthy organic ecology between humanity, nature, and communities.
