RIBA + VitrA Talk
Rural Renaissance: Xu Tiantian
For the third talk in our Architecture Anew series, we will hear from Beijing based Xu Tiantian on how her architecture practice has used design to support and sustain regional communities in China.
Increasingly, the world's population is shifting to inhabit cities, but rural towns and villages still operate as homes and local economies for millions. How can architects support these communities and stimulate or enhance the ways in which they live? What role can architecture play in sustaining or building resilience into rural communities? Over the past six years, the Chinese architect Xu Tiantian has completed a series of considered small-scale projects, with her practice DnA_Design and Architecture, across Songyang in rural China that directly addresses these questions.
