An exhibition based on the studies of Los Angeles Chinatown will be on display at 949 Chung King Road from 01/14/2023 till 01/22/2023. The exhibition showcases different series of work done by Chieh-Ting Chuang.
Chinatown is a recognizable architectural style that has been copied in every major city. This strong adaptive trait of Chinatown can not only be transformed into exterior spaces but also can be carried to interior domesticities. While the creation of the original Chinatowns is all based on the autonomy of the builder and owners of the era, this project explores the autonomy using modern technology and media.

Data are constantly flowing around us. By capturing signals, we can weave data into sceneries. In the digital era, massive data are continuously analyzed and sorted out. Then, they are computed and used to create an order from certain perspectives to become readable information, just like what the protagonist in Matrix sees—everything comprises data flows. Even though we can never be the savior, artists can now use algorithms to tease out data and propose their own viewpoints, converting information into fuels that drive their works and visualizing data into sceneries of light and sound.

Disability critiques of architecture usually emphasize the need for modification and increased access, but The Architecture of Disability calls for a radical reorientation of this perspective by situating experiences of impairment as a new foundation for the built environment. With its provocative proposal for “the construction of disability,” this book fundamentally reconsiders how we conceive of and experience disability in our world.
