“Don’t Be Late Home”

The exhibition titled “Don’t Be Late Home” focuses on our oldest and most fundamental accommodation/living space in the human-space cross-section, namely our homes. The human being’s need for shelter is a historical and complex issue dating back thousands of years. Meanwhile, the debate of whose problem housing has been going unresolved for a long time. We have lost track of whether it is a problem of shelter, a problem about the city, an architectural design problem, an interior problem of living spaces, or if it comprises all.

Rather than trying to answer these and similar questions, the exhibition strives to crystalize the questions. It endeavors to put forth the reasons behind the emergence of these questions and the answers the human being has sought in the process within the context of cities and the environment. While depicting the political and economical journey of housing from the 19th century to date, “Don’t Be Late Home” also touches upon the living space and usage habits.
