Emerging
Typologies in the City Region
2015 UVA Architecture in China Program Exhibition
This exhibition showcased the works of the UVA Architecture China Program in summer 2015 that identified, documented, and analyzed emerging architectural and urban typologies in two of China’s most dynamic city-regions, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. With a combined population of 260 million people, both delta areas are made of clusters of cities and towns that provide vast design, production, and consumption capacities. In collaboration with the School of Architecture, Southeast University in Nanjing, UVa Architecture China Program traversed immense geographical, temporal, economic, and technological scales to present a series of findings of and reflections on what it means to be emergent cities in today’s world. These findings and reflections begin to articulate the current conditions of the architectural profession, and some of the features of the production city and the development city.
