古镇，是何时成为“古”镇的？一个“古”字，不仅仅是对江南水乡聚落的历史进行名称上的强化，更在潜移默化中限制了人们的认知与想象。将水乡聚落的未来，也限定在一个“古”字之下，逃脱不得。未来，在江南水乡聚落，被悄无声息地转译成了“美化的过去”。本次展览以「新“黎”想」为题，试图以黎里这座长三角一体化战略下的“水乡客厅”古镇为起点，为古镇探寻“新”的“发想”。

When did ancient towns become "ancient" towns? The word "ancient" not only strengthens the history of the water town settlements in Jiangnan area, but also imperceptibly limits people's cognition and imagination. The future of the water town settlements is limited under the word "ancient", and becomes the "beautification of the past". With the title of‘New Lili Ideal’, this exhibition attempts to explore new ideals for the ancient town begining with  Lili - the‘water town living room’ under the integration strategy of Yangtze River Delta.

作为2021苏州国际设计周的联动内容，本次展览由黎里古镇联合《城市中国》杂志社主办，林记工作室、《城市中国》联合策展。展览从黎里古镇独特的自然地理资源出发，聚焦其建筑形态、时令风物、生活方式，尝试寻找“人-地”关系的发展脉络。展览中，我们以多媒体、再创作的方式，呈现出一种因地制宜、遵循自然的日常生活美学，而这种多元的美学实际蕴含在古镇千百年来发展所形成的社会形态、社会关系之中。

As a branch of 2021 Suzhou International Design Week, the exhibition is hosted by Lili Ancient Town and Urban China, and curated by Why Not Studio and Urban China. Starting from the unique natural and geographical conditions of Lili ancient Town, the exhibition focuses on the architectural form, seasonal scenery and lifestyle, and try to present its human-land relationship.  In the exhibition, we present diverse daily aesthetics in accordance with local conditions and nature by means of multimedia and re-design, which is actually contained in the social forms and social relations formed for thousands of years.
