And I also love the precision in his craft – a wonderful & strange kind of fabric architecture (ghost architecture?) …

Interested in the malleability of space in both its physical and metaphorical manifestations, Do Ho Suh (b.1962, Seoul, Korea)  constructs site-specific installations that question all kinds of boundaries.
