The acclaimed tour exhibition has just concluded its sixth stop at Shanghai Himalayas Museum (on October 11th). In the Shanghai exhibition, newly welcomed Chinese architect Ma Yansong adds even more volume and depth to the project.
The exhibition intends to inspire people to take a new and different point of view on questions such as “if we were to imagine an environment based on the scale of dogs, what would it be like?”.
