Creative Dialogue: The Essence of Home February 8, 2010

In 2003, Yin Yu Tang, a Chinese home, was deconstructed, transported and reassembled at the Peabody Essex Museum, allowing millions of people to enter this structure which eight generations of the Huang family in China called home. Liz Lerman moderates the discussion with Ronit Eisenback from the UM School of Architecture and Nancy Berliner, curator of the Yin Yu Tang exhibit. Yin Yu Tang serves as the inspiration for the Kronos Quartet and Wu Man’s latest piece and asks us all to consider how the place we come from -- our roots, our home -- impacts who we are today.
