Li Xiaodong explains that space should be experienced from within, rather than looked at from afar. With this in mind, his installation at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, worked to psychologically immerse his visitors in the space, so that they could fully comprehend the stillness of his zen garden at the center of the maze. Architecture is also becoming increasingly adaptive: Breathing Shelter adjusts to different climate conditions, while HygroSkin mimics the way real skin reacts to shifting temperatures. There's also The Lowline, a proposed underground park that aims to maximize on space and breathe greenery into an old, disused urban space.
