Résumé (en anglais)

This article explores the relations between spirit and existence of a place, by focusing on a villa designed by a foreign architect in modern Shanghai. The main argument is that the spirits of a place hand down to generations based on people’s memories; and vice versa, the adaptive reuse of a place will refresh the memories that carry the spirits. It also examines how the spirits of the architects, the clients as well as the users have enhanced the meaning of this building, so that it has stood a good deal of wear, and has transformed through the adaptive reuse. The paper will close with a discussion on the strategic procedures regarding the sustainability of such kinds of villas under the development pressure nowadays.
