Furthermore. Among the eight architectural firms, their exhibited architectural works are in Bangkok, Pattaya, Pathum Thani, Samut Sakhon, Nakhon Ratchasima, and Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya in Thailand; and Hsinchu, Nantou, Yunlin, Kaohsiung, Pingtung, and Yilan in Taiwan, where different cultural backgrounds, different climatic conditions, and diverse social developments are indirectly or directly expressed in how the building responds to the characteristics of the ground.

“Infinity Ground – Thailand and Taiwan Contemporary Architecture Exhibition” takes the earth as the interface, connecting all of nature as a background story.

On the undulating surface, it provides conditions for the interdependence of people, buildings, and nature and balances the operating mechanisms of the environment. More than a century ago, German geologist Alfred Lothar Wegener wrote a book called The Origin of Continents and Oceans and explained that the earth is aggregated into a Pangea, surrounded by the waters of the Panthalassa, which later began to drift and split to form the basic landforms of the seven continents and five oceans.

Furthermore, The exhibition continues the perspective of the “drift” and “aggregation” of the earth, presenting Thailand and Taiwan contemporary architecture in two chapters, “Ground Exchanges” and “Feeling Grounds”, which show new human and nature lifestyles based on the common earth’s ground: togetherness, ritual, native, porosity, extra-ordinary, nostalgic, vernacular, and boundaryless.
