Briefly

Through architectural grafting, Jeanne Gang proposes a transformative urban regeneration approach, integrating new designs with existing structures to foster resilience and sustainability.
Instead of opting for demolition, grafting lets architects prioritize adaptation, thereby extending the life of buildings while preserving cultural and historical significance.
