Professor Yang Tingbao, also known by his courtesy name asRenhui, was a renowned Chinese architect and architectural educator, who founded the architectural discipline at Southeast University. To honor his academic legacy, on the occasion of Prof. Yang Tingbao’s 120th anniversary in 2021, the School of Architecture at Southeast University launched the "Renhui Forum". This ongoing initiative invites leading scholars and architects from China and abroad to give lectures, advancing academic excellence, nurturing emerging talents, and promoting the development of architecture and architectural education in China.
The upcoming lecture will be delivered by Associate ProfessorFranca Trubiano, Stuart Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania. The lecture will be held both at the venue and via livestream.

从建造理论到生物融合设计
From Building Theory to Bio-Design
讲座将围绕过去三年间的两部出版物展开。第一部《建造理论：作为建造艺术的建筑》对建筑历史与理论提供了一种不同的解读；第二部《生物/物质/技术/合成：面向多元生命世界的设计未来》，其灵感源于当代设计师与研究者们在生物、材料与技术组成的交叉领域中的前沿探索。更广义地说，我主张：最常见、最平凡之物也往往最容易被人忽略。
在建筑学领域，"物质"便是一例——自诩为设计者的人往往对之思虑不周且误解尤深。针对这一困境，本演讲试图提出若干新思路，呼吁为建筑确立一种更为坚实且根本的定义。
This evening's talk will travel across two publication projects published over the past three years. The first is Building Theories, Architecture as the Art of Building, which offers an alternate interpretation of the history and theory of architecture; the second is BIO/MATTER/TECHNO/SYNTHETICS: Design Futures for the More Than Human inspired by the work of contemporary designers and researchers working at the intersection of the biological, the material, and the technological. More broadly, I argue that the most ubiquitous and obvious of things are often the most overlooked.
In architecture, “matter” in one such thing: poorly considered and misunderstood by those who consider themselves designers. This lecture offers new ways of redressing this situation in calling for a more grounded definition of architecture.
