About

In the China Room senior and junior researchers from the DAD and DIST departments of the Politecnico di Torino find a space to work together in the fields of architecture and urban studies related to Chinese urbanization processes and its global influence and impacts. We are characterized by the multidisciplinary approach of our research activities, as well by our open stance towards international collaborations.
