This event introduces the first chapter of our three-part Groundwork series, curated by Francesco Garutti. Throughout the series, documentary films created with director Joshua Frank serve as curatorial tools to reveal the thought processes, research, and transformative moments that occur in the early stages of architectural projects. In the context of the ecological crisis, the project explores how contemporary architects from different geographies cultivate alternative modes of engagement with project sites, as well as how they position themselves in relation to the changing boundaries of the field.
As the subject of the first film and exhibition Into the Island, Xu Tiantian will present her work and her involvement in rural revitalization processes in China, including ongoing projects on Meizhou Island, off the Chinese coast.
