The work continues FENG\u2019s Sailing Castle series, initiated at the Taiwan Lantern Festival in 2019, and marks its sixth iteration.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The installation takes form from the outlines of Roppongi\u2019s iconic architecture, including the National Art Center Tokyo, Suntory Museum of Art, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/architecture-in-tokyo\/\">Tokyo Midtown<\/a><\/strong>, 21_21 Design Sight, Mori Tower, Sumitomo Roppongi Grand Tower, and Roppongi Crossing. These profiles are abstracted, merged, and reassembled into a singular timber structure that reflects both the city\u2019s urban identity and the traditional craft techniques used in its making.<\/p>\n<p>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/fixer.com.tw\/index#\/\">FIXER Photographic Studio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Modular Timber and canvas Composition forms Sailing Castle<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>FENG\u2019s Sailing Castle series explores the relationship between architecture, memory, and cultural symbolism. Each work interprets a city\u2019s skyline as a collection of sails gathered in a harbor, structures that both anchor and move through time. In Sailing Castle: Roppongi, this concept is materialized through a framework of interwoven wooden components, where light and shadow define the contours of the city\u2019s silhouette.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The installation\u2019s structural composition recalls boat-building logic and shrine carpentry, integrating modular joints and rhythmic layering. Its lighting scheme transforms the wooden framework into a glowing form that shifts between visibility and transparency, inviting viewers to perceive Roppongi\u2019s architecture as a fluid and collective identity. Through this installation, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chengtsung.com\/\">the artist<\/a><\/strong> establishes a dialogue between urban memory and ritual space, positioning Sailing Castle: Roppongi as both a temporary monument and a reflection on how architectural form can become a vessel for shared cultural narratives.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Sailing Castle: Roppongi by Cheng Tsung FENG at
