A Bilingual Memorial for Professor Lu Yuanding
An in-progress Chinese-English memorial documenting architect and educator Lu Yuanding’s life, scholarship, students, and influence on Chinese vernacular architecture.
Field notes
The memorial is structured as a bilingual, six-part archive rather than a single obituary. Its timeline traces Lu Yuanding from 1948 architectural study and 1952 teaching into vernacular-housing research, academic conferences, and heritage preservation. The archive currently lists 13 source-based items, including a 2019, three-hour oral history and recollections from students and architectural institutions. Photo collections and audiovisual records are marked for later upload, while submitted remembrances enter moderation before appearing publicly.
