Exhibition highlights works of well-known Chinese architects
Print Edition
Wind from the Sea — 2024 Exhibition of Architectural Artworks” is showcasing the work of approximately 100 prominent domestic architects, including Wang Jianguo, Sun Yimin and Cui Tong, at the China Art Museum.
Teachers and students from China’s numerous art and architecture institutions, along with prominent design institutes and enterprises, are among the participating architects.
Architecture serves as both the city’s backbone and a cultural carrier. The works on display focus on urban redevelopment and rural revitalization. The majority consists of completed architectural works, with some conceptual designs and installations.
These works highlight not only the design of heritage protection and reuse, urban public architecture and residential spaces, but also the preservation of traditional culture, the ecological environment and the incorporation of new technology.
The exhibition, which runs until February 28, features three sections: “Renewal/Green Village,” “Renewal/Art City” and “Reinvention/Cultural Habitat.”
For example, “Green Mound — Renewal of the Former Tobacco Company’s Mechanical Warehouse on Yangpu Riverside” by Zhang Ming, Zhang Zi and Qin Shu is a project based on urban regeneration.
The project prevents the demolition of warehouses along the Huangpu River in Yangpu District and instead transforms them into an ecological complex. It breaks the traditional land use pattern by allowing the road to pass under the building, which preserved the old factory. By constructing a ramp in the northern part of the building, it creates a walking path to the riverfront.
The section “Reinvention/Cultural Habitat” includes a number of new works.
The city, the countryside and the natural environment serve as the sites for these works. These “regenerative” works draw from traditional and regional cultures, conducting a dialog with their environment and displaying structural beauty via a unique language.
