Yale Prof. of Architecture Kent Bloomer on Visual Language of Ornament in East and West (two evening lecture and discussion)

Friday and Saturday (Oct 13/14 th 2017), 7 to 9 PM each night

THE SPEAKER
Prof. Kent Bloomer has been teaching at the Yale School of Architecture for over 40 years. He will be speaking at a new state of the art campus in Pudong called THE BRIDGE. The Bridge is a stunning new venue designed by Ben Wood, the designer behind Xintiandi. Prof. Bloomer is on sabbatical this semester from Yale to work on the centerpiece ornament design for The Bridge campus. He will be discussing his design process and how he has applied it to The Bridge project design.

THE EVENT
Join Prof. Bloomer for two nights of lecture and discussion exploring the visual language of ornament in great Eastern and Western structures and objects (such as ceramics and furniture). Professor Bloomer will also demonstrate how he is using visual language in his design of the ‘Dragon Gate’ and the giant ‘Puzzle Ball’, both of which are projects in progress, and which will be installed in spring in The Bridge.
Prof. Bloomer will define ornament as it was originally understood: Ornament holds the codes to a cul­ture. It is the visual language that synthesizes and weaves through the fabric of life, appearing on clothing, buildings, cups, etc. He will then help us to start to bridge more complex ideas together so we can learn to see how it applies to us and to our cultural heritage.
Over two nights of extraordinary talks, come to meet other alumni and to meet professionals who work in related fields. Enjoy good company and stimulating discussions sparked by the lecture while partaking of delicious food and beverages.

Marriage Trends in China

Co-hosted by the University of Pennsylvania Club of Shanghai

LECTURE OUTLINE:

Over the past three decades, a distinctly new form of marriage with high rates of divorce as well as rising rates of marriage and remarriage has emerged in Chinese cities as the result of a “triple turn” by the party-state in regard to the institution of marriage: a “turn toward” marriage as a voluntary contract, a “turn away” from close surveillance of sexual relationships, and a “turn away” from protection of communal property. The one-child policy runs against these three prevailing “turns” toward privatization, but to date this contradiction has been muted by a de facto distinction between (strong) control over reproduction and (weak) control over sexual relationships. Moreover, as illustrated here through close analysis of three recent interpretations of the Supreme People’s Court and interviews with ordinary citizens in Guangzhou and Shanghai, by continuing to extend the logic of voluntary contract to intimate relationships, the party-state’s own actions (and inaction) serve to accelerate privatization of marriage in Contemporary China.
