Thu, Oct 18, 2018    6:30pm

A reconstructed city wall, a bronze age mine, a festival marketplace, fan making … Chinese heritage practice is multifaceted, complex, and often bold. What can we learn about our own heritage and preservation practice through an examination of current projects and trends in China?
