Lu Ying-Mu [Sonia]

Sonia seemed focused, and this is good. Her work is simple, and the inventive suggestion to place a wall that might assist wit the concept of “change” is interesting. Essentially a project that meets all the criteria, technically, but not taken far enough to “win awards”. In so far as developing the concept to a level of resolution, again no. But Sonia has something clever about her building, and this is not yet brought out, unfortunately. The movable wall is left merely as a animated sequence, no doubt impressive, but sadly doesn’t quite add to the project in the way that we had imagined possible. Classroom turning out bars at night or indeed if it was the reverse, this is not clearly shown. Time perhaps will tell. The skylight idea of “holes” in the sky is very attractive, like her door, and the movable wall. Lacking a detailed development , that’s all.
