3-5 May 2013, Shanghai – Tongji University
The workshop
During the first half of 2013, a dozen students in Master Planning has worked on the two sites of Xuhui River and Xujiahui Center on the theme of passages. The first site is a former industrial site in development located between the banks restructured during the expo 2010 along the river and the city (separated by an elevated expressway). The second is a nerve junction in central Shanghai with a landscaped park, an ancient church of the 1860s and a concentration of shopping centers. On May 3, 2013, students returned their work and received feedback from international experts.
