Beyond Form: Exploring the Magic of Sound, Light, and Space in Architecture | Li Hu | TEDxShanghai

The lecture by architect Li Hu, founding partner of OPEN Architecture, explores the profound impact that architecture can achieve by capturing the formless and intangible elements that resonate across cultures. He focused on three main subjects: the perception of light, the shape of sound, and the breath in emptiness – all of which are essentially frequencies and energies.
Li Hu recounted his transformative experience at Convent La Tourette early in his career. He also shared the design processes behind his recent projects.
He hopes that people can see architecture beyond images and surfaces, recognizing that the genuinely moving power lies in the formless and intangible. 李虎，国际知名先锋建筑师。OPEN建筑事务所创始合伙人，哈佛大学设计研究生院丹下健三教席客座教授，清华大学及中央美院建筑学院特聘设计导师。曾任美国斯蒂文·霍尔建筑师事务所合伙人，以及美国哥伦比亚大学GSAPP北京建筑中心（Studio-X）负责人。他于1996年取得清华大学建筑学学士学位，1998年取得美国莱斯大学建筑学硕士学位。
