Project: China Building Restoration (CBR) is a website that reports on all things related to building restoration and sustainable building projects in China. The website (chinabuildingrestoration.com) was founded in 2011 by Amy Mathieson, a British – Chinese architect with a passion for all things related to traditional architecture and cultures. The purpose of CBR is to provide a comprehensive summary of the building restoration industry in China and to act as a resource for others with similar interests.
项目:**中国建筑修复(CBR)**是一个专注于中国建筑修复与可持续建筑项目的资讯网站。该网站(chinabuildingrestoration.com)由Amy Mathieson于2011年创立。Amy是一位拥有英中双重背景的建筑师,热衷于传统建筑与文化相关的一切事务。CBR的目标是为中国建筑修复行业提供全面的综述,并成为其他拥有相似兴趣者的资源平台。
“After I moved to Beijing in 2010, I started researching the building restoration and sustainable building industries in China. However, I found there was no reliable source of information to turn to.” - Amy explains why she started the website.
“在2010年搬到北京后,我开始研究中国的建筑修复和可持续建筑行业。然而,我发现没有可以参考的可靠信息来源。”——Amy解释了她创办该网站的原因。

anySCALE shares Amy’s interest in building restoration. While topics such as building restoration, sustainable building practices and building preservation are still relatively uncharted in China, we have observed a steady rise in demand for considered, sympathetic building restoration projects. Having a keen interest in Chinese culture and the preservation of Beijing’s remaining traditional architecture, anySCALE is now collaborating with Amy Mathieson to create a more active presence in this field.
Since the start of 2015 the two organisations have been working on several courtyard restoration projects together, additionally, they are running a Speakers’ Series in which experts in the field of building restoration are invited to talk about their experiences in front of an audience hosted in the Courtyard Institute space.
anySCALE与Amy对建筑修复的兴趣不谋而合。尽管建筑修复、可持续建筑实践和建筑保护等话题在中国仍属相对新兴领域,但我们观察到对精心设计、具有同理心的建筑修复项目的需求正在稳步上升。由于对中国文化以及北京现存传统建筑保护的浓厚兴趣,anySCALE现正与Amy Mathieson合作,致力于在这一领域建立更积极的影响力。
自2015年初以来,两方已共同开展了多个四合院修复项目。此外,他们还举办了一系列演讲活动(Speakers’ Series),邀请建筑修复领域的专家在四合院书院空间内,与观众分享他们的实践经验。
