Over the next few weeks, Martin Arfalk and Shan Jiang are organizing and leading an intensive, interdisciplinary online design studio for the students of Xi’an Eurasia University. Throughout the exploratory design workshop, the students will explore the latest and greatest concepts, innovations, and mindsets around public space and urban planning in the Swedish context. The students will be challenged to develop design solutions for Jögen Kocksgatan in Malmö - one of the city's most important expansion areas, taking consideration of Malmö’s history, character, climate, and culture.
We find it extremely valuable and illuminating to participate in cross-cultural dialogue about cities and our transforming environments and we look forward to the fresh ideas that emerge from this collaboration!
