Why?
Settling the Nomads, an exhibition at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale, explored the blend of Mongolia’s nomadic traditions and urbanization. In collaboration with Rural Urban Framework (RUF) at The University of Hong Kong, the exhibit presented architectural prototypes that honored nomadic heritage while addressing urban growth challenges.
The exhibition featured three modified gers as immersive projection rooms, showing films about life in Ulaanbaatar’s ger districts. A time-lapse drawing illustrated the evolution of a nomadic family’s plot from a traditional ger to a hybrid urban dwelling, highlighting future possibilities for nomadic living within urban settings.
