Event
OPEN's new book Reinventing Cultural Architecture: A Radical Vision by OPEN published by world-renowned publisher Rizzoli in 2022 was launched at Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam on Thursday, Sep 22.
During the launch event, the founding partners of OPEN Architecture, Li Hu and Huang Wenjing, presented OPEN's recent public and cultural projects, including those featured in the new book. Besides the struggles and breakthroughs associated with each of the projects, Li and Huang shared how they see architecture as the means to connect — with different people, with nature, and, ultimately, with ourselves.
The book launch was moderated by Aric Chen, the General and Artistic Director of Het Nieuwe Instituut (HNI), who also wrote the foreword for OPEN's new book.
