如恩設計個展《無盡之行》於2021年6月4日在設計共和‧設計公社正式開幕，持續至7月3日。此次展覽是繼2021年4月在同濟大學建築與城市規劃學院成功舉辦且反響熱烈後的回歸與延續，意欲將更多精彩內容呈現給公眾。
在保留展覽原有內容的基礎上，此次回歸新增了「物件」此一全新章節，敘說如恩多年來的產品設計實踐，由此更加全面地展示如恩的跨領域研究。
Due to popular demand, Neri&Hu’s solo exhibition Works in Permanent Evolution has now relocated to Design Republic ‧ Design Commune in Shanghai after the exhibition at Tongji University’s College of Architecture and Urban Planning in April. The exhibition adds an additional chapter covering Neri&Hu’s interdisciplinary approach with an additional section covering their product design.
如恩的許多設計來自於「反思型懷舊」這個概念。相比深陷過去，「反思型懷舊」提供了面對文化遺產、集體記憶、居無定所以及城市更新等問題的解決提案。
如恩設計《無盡之行》建築展分為七個章節
《無盡之行》分為七個章節，由「反思型懷舊」為起點，途經「步移景異」、「棲居」、「空間詩學」、「在地重鑄」、「未來遺蹟」，最後抵達「物件」。
不同章節向觀者提出了對於不同文化及社會現象的思考，關乎人類如何在現有的建築環境與社會結構中尋找到自己的位置，並從中尋求意義。
Questioning the notion of nostalgia rather than being simply regressive offers a productive means to engage with issues of heritage, collective memory, displacement and urban renewal.The exhibition has seven categories: Reflective Nostalgia, Nomadic Voyeurism, Dwelling, Inhabitable Strata, Recasting Vernacular, Future Artifact and Objects. Each category comes with its own set of unique issues related to how one seeks to meaningfully engage with the pre-existing built environment and established social structures.
如何採取跨領域研究更好地理解當代社會，並更好地應對全球背景下人類面臨的一系列問題發出的挑戰？如恩在展覽中，採取回顧十五年來的建築與設計實踐，對以上問題闡述了自己的理解與反思。
How can interdisciplinary design better understand our contemporary conditions, and how might they adapt to better address and support the challenges these conditions present? Speaking to these questions, the exhibition Works in Permanent Evolution presents the firm’s works in the past fifteen years.
如恩設計回應不斷變化的社會需要
在此同時，如恩設計試圖採取展覽闡述建築與設計如何更有力地回應不斷變化的社會需要。有時，他們甚至能夠在一定程度上成為社會發展的風向標。在當代價值觀不斷重塑城市生活的背景下，設計師的職責不僅僅是迎合現代化的飛速發展，更是扮演引導者的角色，積極參與影響和引領社會的重大變革。
The exhibition has also taken its time and listened in earnest to ways in which architecture and the built environment can respond more aptly to, and at times anticipate, our changing set of needs. While contemporary values are rapidly reshaping our urban typologies, architecture is not only responsive to, but can also forecast and even influence the direction of society through spatial endeavors.
《無盡之行》展示了豐富的建築模型、理論研究以及設計物件，由此呈現如恩多年來對於建築與設計思考的不斷演變。展覽亦批判性地指出，如今我們身處何處，又將前往何方？在當代社會背景下，人們對於建築空間的未來期待如何？
Through curated architectural models, architectural research, and designed objects, the exhibition critically captures where we are at this moment and points to the urgent need for a progressive spatiality born of our contemporary socio-political relationships.
