Abstract
Architectural exhibitions,due to the"absence"of actual buildings,have become a unique medium for spatial critique,with narratives constructed through substitutes such as models and drawings.This paper systematically reviews the historical genealogy and typological characteristics of architectural exhibitions,revealing dual development trajectories:the Western context,where declarative exhibitions drive shifts in architectural discourse;and the Chinese context,which has moved from local experimentation in the 1990s toward global dialogue.Using the 2025 West Bund Museum exhibition"Constructing Shanghai:Architecture,City,and Culture Since 1949"as a case study,this paper analyzes how its"chronological slices+thematic juxtaposition"narrative reflects the changes in spatial production in Shanghai.This paper also critically identifies three main shortcomings in the exhibition:imbalance between landmark and everyday spaces,the masking of the true experience of spatial users,and lack of critique on sustainable practices.The study demonstrates that architectural exhibitions have value beyond display,serving as a critical tool to reshape spatial discourse and contribute to discussions and practices in urban development.关键词
