The Architecture of Fear and Cure│600│Introduction

[The script of this episode] Welcome to the exhibition “The Architecture of Fear and Cure." This audio guide will lead you along the exhibition route to explore the exhibition space and the artworks. The origin of architecture stems from our need for shelter. Like other living beings, humans depend on architecture to protect themselves from natural disasters, diseases, and threats. However, when fear and healing come together, it can create feelings of chaos and unease, as well as a desire for order and stability. These feelings are, in fact, fundamental aspects of life. In modern society, this pursuit is often overlooked in architecture and cities. Instead, they often fall into what philosopher Georges Bataille described as a dilemma: the expansion of the self, the ultimate void, the scorn of the others, the thunderous shout, the gaze into the past ill-fated grandeur. This exhibition begins with this problematic and invites everyone to reflect together. This exhibition is organized into four subthemes: “Ceremony,” “The Law of Architecture,” “Calling,” and “Satoyama.” With voices, visuals, and installations created by 16 architects and artists, let’s embark together on a journey of exploring the complex relationship between architecture and life. ---------- The Architecture of Fear and Cure 2025.10.04-2026.01.25 ｜Curator｜ROAN Ching-yueh ｜Artists｜YIN Zi-jie, Boonserm PREMTHADA, WU Tseng-jung, WU Yao-tung, MATSUDA Kazuhisa, HUNG Hao-chun, HSU Ting, FU Chang-feng, Divooe ZEIN, FCHY Architect Lab, LIAO Wei-li, Yannick DAUBY, CHEN Donghua, Kay Ngee Tan Architects, LAI Po-wei, KU Shih-yung ｜More Information｜https://ntcart.museum/EN/exhibition/H2508001
