Summary:
For several years, architect Zhang Ke has been exploring alternative perspectives on the hutongs, considering them as living organisms and studying them both in micro scale units and as macro scale infrastructures. His goal is to show how traditional courtyard properties can be adapted for the 21st century to fulfill their potential as generators of community spaces and catalysts of social interaction. The result is a series of architectural interventions that breathe new life into these historic residential neighbourhoods while preserving the significant monument value of these unique cultural artifacts. With the exhibition and catalogue "YING-ZAO: Hutong Metabolism+", Chinese architect Zhang Ke and his firm ZAO/standardarchitecture present a series of realised projects related to this topic.
