More details

From the vaulted ceilings of the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum in Jiangxi, to an open-air bamboo theatre in Hengkeng Village in Songyang County, to a former sugar factory turned into a hotel near Guilin, the exhibition examines an array of bold interventions that serve as a blueprint for more resource-conscious and socially oriented architectural practices around the world.
