什么样的建筑，才算真正属于一座城市？一个在北京生活了近二十年的日本建筑师，会给出怎样的答案？从白塔寺胡同到扬州历史街区，他如何在不同城市中，把传统与现代“温柔地”连接起来？

这一次，比利时主持人彭望龙走进白塔寺胡同，带着好奇，也带着疑问，与日本建筑师青山周平，展开一次关于城市建筑改造的深度对话。

青山周平说，他设计建筑从来不是简单地设计外形，而是设计人与人、人与自然、人与城市之间的关系。他用灰砖搭建空间，也用镜面映出城市节奏；他让老房子重新呼吸，也让人间烟火气在街巷中慢慢地交融与生长。

当中国城市不断变化，我们该如何留住历史记忆继续前行？建筑真的能改变城市的未来吗？答案或许就藏在这些空间里，藏在他对城市生长二十年的思考中。

What kind of architecture can truly represent a city? Japanese architect Shuhei Aoyama, who has been living in Beijing for nearly 20 years, has his answer. From Baitasi Hutong to Yangzhou's historical streets, he gently bridges tradition and modern life. For Aoyama, architecture isn't just about shapes—it's about people, nature, and the city itself.

Joined by Belgian host Romuald Bronchart, the two explore how old buildings can revive again, and how design can quietly reshape the future of Chinese cities.
