"Architecture can be read" has become a major IP of Shanghai's cultural tourism, and in 2021 the city's culture and tourism officially released the "Top Ten Action Plan for "Architecture can be read" in 2021". In response to Shanghai's cultural tourism plan, ASSC and Art Pioneer Studio have joined hands to create a forum on architecture and art.

Since 2021, ASSC has organised a series of online lectures on "architecture can be read", which have achieved very obvious results, and "architecture can be read" has become one of the most popular topics in the architecture industry. The popularity of the lectures has been steadily increasing.

Therefore, it is proposed to hold a forum on architecture and art - "Crossing Quadrant of Architecture and Art", in which famous artists and outstanding architects will discuss in depth across the border, expecting architecture to be empowered by art in the direction of "readability", triggering more It is expected that architecture will be empowered by art in the direction of "readability", provoking more thoughts, bringing more positive responses and demonstrating more possibilities.

The art of architecture is a stylistic art based on architectural engineering techniques, which, with its rational practical functions and advanced technical means, reveals its aesthetic artistic value, its function not only in the common sense of sheltering from the elements, but also reflecting the social life and human spirit in which the building is located. Architecture, as one of the most practical and indispensable artistic vehicles, combines a considerable number of complex fields and continues to record and reflect the human and environmental landscape.

"To see the world is to spell it" - Octavio Paz. Spelling is the substitution of feeling into words. The Mexican writer Octavio Paz, in his poem "Draft of Shadows", wants to turn the poem into a shape, to create a world of flesh and water, but the more he tries, the more the weight of the words is reduced. This is why people like to walk, live and feel in architecture. Often the turning back and forth between buildings, even the fleeting scent of them, will make a poem or a person pop into one's mind.

The art of architecture is therefore complex, taking into account both practical use, functional rationality and geographical safety, as well as the weight of art and humanism in it, and an excellent building will certainly contain humanistic sentiments and artistic ideas that will make people stop and give them peace and hope. When architects and artists build a space, they often weigh the role of the building itself against the need to give it an artistic expression, and the balance between this and that will continue to be a topic of discussion.
