Public Lecture on Wang Shu's Ningbo Museum held on 13 September 2023

On September 13, Professor Uwe Fleckner (University of Hamburg/China Academy of Art, Hangzhou) delivered a public lecture at the Department of Chinese and History on Wang Shu's Ningbo Museum. Departing from the unique lens of "spolia," a key concept deeply rooted in European culture and visuality since antiquity, Professor Fleckner elaborated on how Wang Shu used recycled building materials to construct a public museum, which is, per se, a “lieu de mémoire” in the strict sense of Pierre Nora.
