About this Event
This lecture examines how architectural practice can engage with time through the reuse and reconfiguration of industrial fragments. Projects such as the Long Museum West Bund, the Modern Art Museum at Laobaidu Wharf, the 80,000-ton Silo Art Center, Riverside Passage, and the transformation of an intake facility island on Jianhu Lake are explored as case studies. Across these works, spatial form and structural armatures can embody both the memory of the past and a renewed sense of public life. Rather than erasing traces of the past, these interventions cultivate material continuity and atmospheric resonance—embracing aging, transformation, and site-specific meaning. Building is approached not as the pursuit of novelty, but as a temporal reweaving—where structure, emotion, and landscape converge as constructed shapes of time.
