Cheung Qin

Cheung Qin is a candidate for the Master of Architecture degree at MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning. He received a BFA in Architectural Design from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2019. Over the subsequent three years, he explored unorthodox avenues within architecture, immersing himself in exhibition design, contemporary sculpture practices, and digital fabrication.

In Cheung Qin's artistic practice, he explores the sublime intersections between ancient rituals, the unseen labor of modern mass production, and the intimate connection between nature and technology. His inspirations range from the tactile legacy of ancestral petroglyphs to the automated precision of machines. Cheung's works serve as dynamic landscapes that capture the essence of human experience, reimagining spatial narratives through a lens of 'tangible fiction.' This approach aims to document the surreal landscapes that lie between reality and imagination, fostering a future where technology not only coexists with but enhances our engagement with the profound and the sublime.
