Zhang Ke, principal of the Beijing-based firm ZAO/standardarchitecture, envisions new models for sustainable co-living highlighting the vital relationships between interior and exterior, architecture and landscape, memory and identity. Zhang's School of Architecture installation draws from his 2023 exhibition co-living at the Venice Architecture Biennale.
