Traversing Between Space, Time, and Practice
Terence Hawkes once said, “The true nature of things may be said to lie not in things themselves, but in the relationships which we construct and then perceive, between them.” The notion of “traversing between space, time, and practice” has long been embedded in Neri & Hu's architectural practice.
This lecture will examine a series of contemporary issues in various global contexts and will aim to shed light on how Neri & Hu grounds its work while maintaining an intellectual inquiry into adaptive reuse and the role of history, reimagined spatial legibility associated with voyeurism, tectonics, and the use of poché, a search for a connection back to the vernacular, and the role of collective memory and fragments.
In 2004, Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu founded Neri & Hu Design and Research Office, an interdisciplinary architectural design practice based in Shanghai, China.
