Internationalization, skills, quality, and valorization of the project. These were the topics at the center of the event held last Thursday at SETA, in via Luigi Tarino, promoted by China Room Meets to talk about POLITO Studio China, the international project signed by the Association of Architects and the Polytechnic University of Turin.
The main focus of the meeting was Turin Design Hub, the group of 12 professional studios dedicated to the design market in China, which, together with the China Room research group, recounted the experience and achievements of POLITO Studio in its first two years.
Among them, the fourth place in the international architecture competition for the Meiguan Innovative Corridor, the ranking among the top 20 projects for the Beyond Yue / Janhu Revival Planning and Design Competition, and the recent GBA Uninterrupted installation presented in the context of the 9th Shenzhen Bienniale.
‘Turin Design Hub is a demonstration of the value of POLITO Studio’, explains the Association of Architects’s board member Peter Jaeger, the initiative’s contact person, ‘this is a real hub for architecture, capable of bringing together design supply and demand between Italy and abroad. On the one hand, we have a very high quality of skills that always distinguished Made in Italy design’, Jaeger continues’, on the other, as the case of China shows, we have a very high offer. What is too often missing, unfortunately, is the connections between the two worlds, and POLITO Studio wants to show how important it is to invest in international synergies’.
The success of the first years can only encourage us to continue on this path, looking at the market in China, Latin America, and beyond. More updates soon!
