　　Rooms for Reform: International Hotels in China, 1974-1990
　　空间改革：国际饭店在中国， 1974 – 1990
　　The early years of “Opening and Reform” in post-Mao China were marked by transformative architectural and urban change. This exhibition offers a look at the role played by one building type – the international hotel – in spurring China’s economic development and limiting the risks of political destabilization.
　　The exhibition highlights several of the era’s best known international hotels, including the Shanghai Centre, completed by John Portman & Associates in Shanghai in 1990, with a range of materials, including publications, plans, photographs, and models. These artifacts testify to the optimism and uncertainty that surrounded these projects. They illuminate the debates taking place as to how these new technologies might inform China’s preexisting architectural practices. They also draw our attention to how rapidly China has continued to develop since the early reform-era (1978-1990).
　　In theory, these projects presented new liberalized environments through which foreign capital, ideas, and expertise could be channeled into China over time. In practice, they ushered in dramatic ideological and operational transformations that catalyzed urban development and reshaped China’s major urban centers. Collectively, they offer an opportunity to better understand a particularly meaningful moment in China’s recent history.
　　“改革开放”初期，后毛泽东时代的中国，建筑和城市经历了显著的转型与变化。本展览为检视国际饭店这一特定建筑类型提供了视角，观察其在中国促进经济发展和抑制政治不稳定因素方面的作用。
　　本展览聚焦于几个同时代中国最为知名的国际饭店，包括1990年竣工、由约翰·波特曼建筑设计事务所设计的上海商城。展览将展出项目相关的出版物、平面图、摄影作品和模型等，反映了当时人们对于这些项目的乐观态度和不确定性。这些材料呈现了当时人们的讨论：这些新的建筑技术将如何重塑中国已有的建筑实践?同时，这场展览也引发人们关注中国自从改革开放初期(1978 - 1990)开始的持续而高速的发展情况。
　　理论上，这些空间提供了被解放的新环境，外国的资本、思想与技术通过这些环境得以持续不断而安全地输出。现实中，它们导向了一系列戏剧性的意识形态与操作方面的转型，从而重塑了中国主要城市的中心地段。上述资料和其它作品让我们得以更深入地理解中国近期具有特殊意义的历史性时刻。
