This exhibition asks how architecture can sustain places in the rapidly changing urban-rural environments of China. Facing challenges of large-scale multifunctionality and high-density demands, how architecture can moderate scale, establishes meaningful relationships between individuals and clusters, and fostering interactions between the built and the natural environment. Presenting nearly two decades of works by WANG Weijen Architecture in rural and urban contexts which centred on the strategy of Courtyardism as an approach to the built environment from multiple perspectives, this exhibition is organized into three sections. Beyond design practice in campuses and community buildings across urban and rural contexts, the exhibition also traces the studio's ongoing field research and investigations in these environments. Together, they reflect the architect's commitment to human scale, ecological balance and community space, as well as the everyday practice of navigating between the urban and the rural contexts. - Urban-Rural Campus: Density / Scale / Landscape This section explores Courtyardism as a cross-cultural prototype which can be developed into a multi-layered three-dimensional system of architectural urbanism, coordinating scale while accommodating nature in contemporary high-density cities. Through a series of campus designs including The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, four schools in Shenzhen, and the Lishui University in Songyang, the exhibition explores how Courtyardism as typology can be developed into a sectional design method, through overlapping and interweaving, enclosure and connecting, sequence and transition, trees and ponds, establishing an effective spatial strategy for sustaining architectural and natural environments. - Research-Practice: Fabric / Type / Place This section presents the studio's extensive research and built projects in diverse urban and rural contexts. From studies of Macao's Tsz Lam Wai and Hong Kong's urban fabric to the adaptive reuse and design transformations in Beijing's hutongs, villages in Zhejiang and Henan, the Hakka settlement of Kuk Po Village in Hong Kong, and the reconstruction of Choi Yuen Village, the exhibition highlights the dialectical and symbiotic relationships between city and village, architecture and landscapes, settlement and wetland, high and low density, conservation and innovation, amidst vast urban-rural transformations. - Architect: Humanity and Nature Finally, a short film presents the personal and intellectual trajectory of WANG Weijen. It traces the development of his ideas and actions, from his upbringing and education to his consistent focus on people and observation of nature. This narrative reveals his continuous exploration of Courtyardism as a method and offers a glimpse into his daily work across the multiple roles of teacher, scholar, architect, and curator.
