Y. Y. is currently based in the virtual platform. It is trying to settle down in a real place. It is an attempt to research new methods and procedures of producing architectural entities, and further study and investigate the subject matter tackled in studio projects. It tries to broaden the boundary of architectural visionary and ideology, but now focused on form and representation only.
