Introduction
The urban and architectural development of Shanghai since 1949 has enlarged and enriched the urban morphology and architectural typology of Shanghai in the era of the Concession. The socialist urban construction since the establishment of New China and the development of the Shanghai metropolis after the reform and opening-up prompted the emergence of new land policies, urban forms, and architectural typologies. Based on the many achievements of Shanghai history research and focusing on the outstanding cases in the evolution of contemporary Shanghai cities and architecture, this project carries out the research-based design of Thematic Design (IV) with the perspective of urban architecture and the technique of cross-media presentation.
The topic comes from an ongoing project of research and exhibition on contemporary Shanghai cities and architecture, which was jointly curated by the course leader, Prof. Li Xiangning, with the Centre Pompidou in France and the West Coast Museum of Art in Shanghai.2021 In November 2021, the West Coast Museum of Art and the Centre Pompidou collaborated on a special exhibition, “Architecture in Paris (1948-2020): Witnesses to the Process of the City”, which presented many masterpieces of architecture in Paris over the past seventy years. In November 2021, the Museum collaborated with the Pompidou Center on the special exhibition “Architecture in Paris (1948-2020): Witnesses to the City's Progress,” a critically acclaimed exhibition that featured masterpieces of Parisian architecture from the past seventy years, including offices, residences, commercial projects, large-scale public works, public and cultural buildings. As a sister exhibition to the Paris special exhibition, the goal of this special exhibition, tentatively scheduled to open in April 2025, is to discover and study outstanding examples of contemporaneous Shanghai cities and architecture, and to teach and guide research-based design through urban historiography, spatial and visual design, and cross-media presentation supported by new digital technologies.
