Introduction
Architecture is about the subject’s experience of space in time.
It is through the movement of the body through space that people truly connect with architecture;
and movement is the body in time, while time imbues space with life.
Through their exhibition "Space in Time", Hsu-Yuan Kuo and Effie Huang conduct a profound exploration of contemporary Taiwanese urban architectural design methodologies, refocusing on the user experience within architecture. The exhibition showcases their architectural creations spanning 25 years. They find opportunities where none seem possible, awakening from the daily cycle of mundane existence. In urban crevices, they conjure small yet dazzling spatial visions, reviving time’s infinite potential within space and enriching everyday life.
Kuo and Huang are ardent seekers of this “temporal space” and bold experimenters. Through their mutual dialectics, arguments, even cold wars—yet also mutual support, encouragement, and love—they create this temporal space and forge connections between viewers and themselves.
The exhibition and accompanying lectures invite audiences to explore the existential meaning of inhabiting architecture alongside its creators, viewing it through different lenses— historical perspectives, contemporary viewpoints, site-specific qualities, and even observations that extend beyond culture.
