China Room meets Turin

Winter Session 2023

Period:

January – March 2023

Locations

19.01.23 – Circolo dei Lettori

07.02.23 – Cultlab

02.03.23 – Seta – Sala da tè culturale

China Room is launching its 2023 Winter Series with three new events spreading around Turin. Three different locations to unleash to the citizens, researchers, and practitioners the latest achievements in design and research. Circolo dei Lettori (19.01.23), Cultlab (07.02.23) and Seta – sala da tè culturale (02.03.23) will be the spots where China Room would like to establish a bridge between what has been learned in China in the recent years and its urban community, where Politecnico di Torino represent a key player. They will allow researchers and designers to meet each other to question their spheres of interest and the role of cross-boundary disciplines. The 2023 China Room Winter Series frames design as a social and institutional innovation driver.
