‘Erotic Architecture'

            For me, it is the architecture that impacts your sensation though the space and makes you concern or attract within the space.

‘Staircase Lounge’

The project objectives are to make people pay greater attention to the space and without noticing before getting into the space to make a big impact. Because, normally, the staircase uses as just a walk pass way so there are none of people who care much about this space. With my project, they interact more with the space and change their behavior; from walking though to sitting and chatting.

Sophie Calle

A French Artist who has a unique method to create works. Also she is a writer, photographer, director, installation artist, and conceptual artist. She was born in October 9th, 1953 and began working as an artist in the 1970s. Most of her works are associated with strangers and present their private lives.

The sleepers, Sophie Calle, 1979

 My favorite work of her works is 'the sleepers', because this work is her early work of observation to other people behavior in term of sleeping habits on her bed space. So one bed had used in the same function but with different people using it, the space somehow did not seem like the same space.

Chris Burden

             An American Artist who mostly uses his body to perform as the art works. He is a conceptual artist. He was born in 1946. He bagan to work as a performance artist in the early 1970s. He made a series of controversial performances in the idea of personal danger as artistic expression.

Beam Drop, Chris Burden, 1985/ Beam Drop, Chris Burden, 2007

His famous works mostly are the performance work using his body, however I like the art work 'Beam Drop' which basically is I-beam dropped by crane about the forty-five meters high onto the fresh cement pit. So, in my opinion, the sculture makes people to re-concern about the architecture because most of modern buildings use I-beam as the main structure and they are usually used in grid pattern or some kind of pattern (not a random pattern). By dropped them randomly, The concept is interesting.
