The installation Pack the Suitcase · Unfold the City for the renowned suitcase label RIMOWA for its brand exhibition Beyond the City is another experiment by DAS to integrate architectural drawing with space design.
The exhibition is scheduled to tour in Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen. So, the visual content of the installation is a collage in which the landmark architecture and urban scenes from those three cities are represented in one image.
The landmark buildings occupy the foreground of the image, while they function more as the frame to divide the composition. The actual center of the image shows the most representative daily space in the cities: hutong in Beijing, vernacular residential housing in Shanghai, and urban village in Shenzhen. In the distance, the Great Wall, the giant river-crossing bridge, and cruise on the sea formalize the edges of the cities. The famous buildings and grass-root architecture altogether compose a panorama for a Chinese metropolis.
