Daisy Ziyan Zhang + Ella Raidel Film Screening: On Care, Space, and Transformation Part of the MIT Fall 2025 Architecture Lecture Series. Presented with the Architecture and Urbanism GroupHow do we live with the buildings, neighborhoods, and cities that surround us—and how do they, in turn, shape us? This evening brings together acclaimed filmmakers Daisy Ziyan Zhang (MIT M.Arch ’23) and Ella Raidel (Assistant Professor, NTU Singapore) in a program curated by Marlene Rutzendorfer (wonderland architecture). Through three films, we will explore the intimacy of care and the fragility of structures—both physical and social—in a world of constant transformation. From the aging of a mundane residential building in Mexico, to the eclipsed stories of migrant women navigating foreign landscapes, to the ghostly remains of speculative urbanisation in China, these works invite us to rethink how cities are built, maintained, challenged, remembered, and imagined. The film screening will be followed by a conversation with the audience.The MIT screening event is supported by NTU Global Research Excellence Award for Travel (GREAT). A collaboration with wonderland architecture.
