Ang Li Projects is an interdisciplinary design studio that works at the intersection of architecture, public art and experimental preservation to investigate the maintenance rituals and material afterlives behind the modern built environment. Our work unfolds across scales and media to include material research, designed objects, architectural installations, and public art commissions that are held together by an interest in exploring circular material practices and cultures that offer alternatives to new construction.
Recent projects have been featured in national and international exhibitions at venues such as the Carnegie Museum of Art (2024), the US Pavilion at the 18th Venice Architecture Biennale (2023), Exhibit Columbus (2021), Space p11 (2019), the Chicago Architecture Biennial (2019), Boston Cyberarts (2018) and the Lisbon Architecture Triennale (2013). This work has been supported by organizations including the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, RAIR (Recycled Artist in Residence), Landmark Columbus, the Now+There Public Art Accelerator Program, and the Boston Mayor’s office of Arts and Culture.Team:
