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.
