Every Sunday morning, we feature a one-on-one Q&A with Jun, our resident curator, exploring the connection between Zen and architecture.
How do you see the intersection of traditional values and modern technology?
I view the intersection of traditional values and modern technology as a harmonious blend that can drive meaningful innovation. Traditional values such as mindfulness, simplicity, and community provide a strong ethical foundation that can guide the development and application of new technologies. By integrating these timeless principles into technological advancements, we can create solutions that are not only efficient and cutting-edge but also deeply respectful of human-centric ideals.
This synergy ensures that progress enhances our lives in a balanced way, preserving cultural heritage while embracing the benefits of modernity. It’s about leveraging technology to amplify the positive aspects of traditional values, fostering a future that is both innovative and grounded in enduring human wisdom.
