These three urban floating islands returned to the starting point of architectural ideology when the old village people live close to each other and now we lose it. So the installation is like a time machine bring back the lose culture. The team develop an architectural scale that is able to drift and change between the body , city and the landscape.

Complete Talk by Eric
As conclusion, Eric say as an architect, we should go out on the street, create something different among others. When we having workout in Johor together, he told us that even sometimes his expenses is over than the budget that they gave. But because he is doing what he like , he don't mind to go broke. He say finding something you like is important , when Mr. Teoh ask him that he should rest more but he said while he doing architecture and art he is resting . I am strongly agrees with that, finding your passion in what you do , that the fuel make you keep doing .
"So that they become nomadic, swing practitioners, so, the edge is not a limit and it is thinking of the show; things always have open heterogeneous ends, pull out the biggest tension at both ends, and cautious, specifically in this Between the building and the arts, buildings and construction equipment, the body and feeling between the same." - ERIC CHEN
讓自己成為游牧、擺盪的實踐者，如此，邊緣不是界限而正是思考的顯現；事物總有可開啟的異質兩端，拉出這兩端最大的張力，並謹慎、具體地在這之間進行創作實踐；建築與藝術、建築物與建築裝置、身體與感覺間亦如是。- 陳宣誠
