WX is pleased to invite you to a Virtual Tour & Talk on Reuse, Renew, Recycle: Recent Architecture from China. The session will be led by Evangelos Kotsioris, Assistant Curator and Martino Stierli, Chief Curator in the department of Architecture & Design.
During the past three decades, China has undergone a building boom that has made it the largest construction site in human history. After years of urban megaprojects and spectacular architectural objects, many of which were designed by Western firms, a new generation of independent Chinese architects have challenged this approach. Reuse, Renew, Recycle: Recent Architecture from China highlights their commitment to social and environmental sustainability.
Join Martino Stierli, Chief Curator of Architecture and Design, and Evangelos Kotsioris, Assistant Curator, as they explore eight projects that speak to a multiplicity of architectural approaches—from the reuse of former industrial buildings, the recycling of building materials, and the reinterpretation of ancient construction techniques, to the economic rejuvenation of rural villages and entire regions. Following the virtual tour, there will be a LIVE Q&A segment, with Evangelos Kotsioris.
