On Thursday 21 April 2022 an experimental studio, which presented a series of fascinating, architectural study projects in the Chinese countryside, was held. The studio was arranged around thought-provoking questions such as what is the added value of an architect in the countryside? How does the profession in the countryside differ from an urban context and what possibilities does that bring?

The studio was hosted by the China Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) together with Rem Koolhaas of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). Special guests included Prof. Peter Ho, Prof. Karl Otto Ellefsen, Jiang Jun, and Daan Roggeveen. See the program.
