Lyndon Neri will be giving a lecture on Thursday, March 30th, 2023 at the Main Hall, Daniels Building, John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design, Toronto University at 6:30pm EDT. The theme of the lecture is "ruinophilia". Arguably the conception of ruins has long shaped western architectural historians' origins narrative dating back to antiquity. Largely skewed by a distinct visual culture and optics of the "ruin gaze", the ruin has predominantly been associated with romantic imagery possessing its own metaphysical charm. The lecture will present relevant projects from the Neri&Hu studio seen from the critical lens of Chinese art history to offer alternative representations of the past, readings of site, building and visual memory.
