18:00 - Open house
Join us in celebrating the conclusion of 6 weeks of intensive research and experience in China. We will be exhibiting work from the following three student projects:
Hungry Urbanization, Eating Beijing
Food Systems from the Plate to the City
Yangzi Delta 2020 Urban Sponge
Panoramas from Rural to Urban
13th Line Superlinearity
Experimental Urbanism on the North Tangent of Beijing's 13th Line
A collaborative research project focused on the social, economic and ecological dimensions of the circulation of food in Beijing and two shorter design charrettes examining two different urban peripheries: the Yangzi delta urban region from Suzhou to Shanghai, and the new suburban development along the northern leg of Beijing's line 13 raised railway.
The common subjects of investigation are the overlapped and co-constitutive networks of new spaces and subjectivities within the fast urbanizing liminal landscapes beyond China's city-centers.
