Editing RAMa 2025 Shanghai Architecture Biennial (section)

== Objectives & Strategy ==

* '''Advocate for better public amenities''': By placing the architecture in open public space, the biennial makes visible what is lacking (benches, shade, potable water, gathering points), gently lobbying landowners and urban stakeholders to allow more generous public infrastructure.
* '''Demonstrate lightweight, flexible design''': Unlike heavy monuments or permanent structures, the works are intended to be adaptable, reusable, and responsive to site conditions and user presence.
* '''Reconfigure everyday space''': The event reframes mundane streets, alleys, and plazas as potential sites of encounter, reflection, and civic life.
* '''Engage the public''': Because there is no admission fee and all works are outdoors, the barrier to entry is minimal — inviting residents, passers-by, and tourists to engage spontaneously.
* '''Prompt dialogue and reflection''': The installations do not impose a rigid narrative or theory; instead they raise questions about how architecture can gently enhance lived experience.
