CHANG Yung Ho

One Divided by Two
Site: Changliao Rezoning District

Inspired by the loss of the Kinmen bunkers' protective function since demilitarization in the early '90s, Chang Yongho will cut a bunker into two halves. The surface of one side will be deconstructed to show the structure beneath, transforming the defunct, stark shell into a conceptual space that embodies the traditional Chinese Ying and Yang.

Born in1956 in Beijing, Chang Yongho received a Masters in Architecture from the University of California, Berkley. Chang is currently the head of the Architecture Center at Peking University and a fellow professor at Harvard University's Design Research Institute. As both architect and artist, Chang has participated in two Venice Architecture Biennales, the Shanghai Biennale, and a variety of international exhibitions. Chang was honored by UNESCO for his contribution to the field of architecture.
