Chang is an Associate Director at Neri&Hu who has led master planning, architecture, interior and exhibition projects there since 2012. Her talk examines three projects—a furniture fair installation, an exhibition in dialogue with Carlo Scarpa, and an adaptive reuse project—tracing threads of the studio's practice such as fictional narratives, scenography, East Asian spatial frameworks, reflective nostalgia and the off-modern ruin. It presents dialogue as a framework spanning floor plan and object, contemporary practice and archival history, and modern interventions and existing building structures.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/the-diane-lewis-student-lecture-series-christine-chang-dialo-75361/", "official_url": "https://cooper.edu/events-and-exhibitions/events/diane-lewis-student-lecture-series-christine-chang-dialogue-method", "image": "https://noky.io/images/65484c85651833055a0badb33b89b2793d8b9f8031e622eb271d6c4d828fd532-1200.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-10-29T18:30:00-04:00", "end": "2026-10-29T20:30:00-04:00", "place": "Cooper Union", "address": "7 East 7th Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues, New York, NY", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Dialogues on Design: Ben Pentreath", "start": "2026-11-04T18:00:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "New York School of Interior Design", "address": "East 70th Street 170, 10021", "price": "", "price_from": "32.90", "price_to": "32.90", "tickets_url": "https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dialogues-on-design-ben-pentreath-tickets-1993940866808", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["art/architecture"], "description": "Dialogues on Design is a talk series at the New York School of Interior Design.
