Architecture divides and connects spaces, the difference between being “open” or “closed” is merely a thin line in the design process. Architectural design is an integrated whole in terms of concept and technology, the philosophical concepts embedded in the buildings also have a lingering influence on people's lives, giving the buildings an openness for cross-cutting cooperation.

During September 30 – December 2, Ullens Centre for Contemporary Art (UCCA) will present the Yung Ho Chang+FCJZ: MATERIAL-ISM exhibition. During this time, UCCA will be collaborating with the Festarch International Architecture Festival by Abitare and Beijing Design Week, to show a series of programs under the theme of urban architecture culture.
