Building in China: A Century of Dialogues on Modern Architecture traces the country’s shifting design practices over a century in which many of its leading practitioners and scholars were educated at Penn. “In this exhibition, we want to highlight alternative thinking and practices in China that reflect greater awareness of local identities and use more sophisticated approaches that take into account the interrelationship between globalization, universal technologies, and local culture and community life,” says Associate Professor of City and Regional Planning Zhongjie Lin, co-organizer.
