About Me | Yishuang Guo

Yishuang GUO

郭奕爽

Being raised in an engineering family in the eastern world, architecture first to me is more structurally realistic than fantasies, the discipline of structural rationality was the creed to ensure the stability of every single structure.

It was challenged when advanced technologies provide more and more options for architect to envision their dreams, until then I realize that it is not the structure to bind our mind, but the mind to break the structure. We are the one who create dreams.

I think of time. My works about the dreams were either imagination about the future or representation of the past. However, time is not something merely existing in past vague memories, nor blurry illusions about the uncertain future. To see the world, to witness the power of nature, to live a life in urban forest, to experience the breakthroughs around the world.

I am an architect of the present, and a dreamer of the future.
