Tuazon predominantly works with architectural techniques and materials, creating structures and spaces using building supplies such as steel, glass, and wood and a simple do-it-yourself approach. Tuazon's sculptures, built by hand, are often quasi-functional objects or models of other spaces. The construction process itself can often be seen as a performative part of the work, applying the techniques of Land Art and Minimalism in improvised collaborations with designers, engineers, and builders to produce large-scale installations and public projects.
