“Hutopolis” is a research program that aims to investigate new boundaries for the urban development in China. The study intends to re-use and enhance the existing urban framework and networks as a key idea to generate a new evolution of the city.

His first presentation was in international design week in Beijing. You can find the schedule until the fall of 2012 below.

Hutopolis at Beijing Design Week is a retrospective on the urban condition of Beijing and specifically its Hutongs. Imagined as an exploration in three chapters on the urban fabric of the old Beijing, the exhibition wants to establish a relationship with the audience engaging a dialogue. The discourse starts from a general picture of the old city, continues with a scientific breakdown into the four principles and concludes at a virtual re-composition of an ideal image of the city.

By picturing, analyzing, and re-imagining a part of the city, “Hutopolis” wants to engage preservation and modernization into a dialogue to foster an evolution.

China and Spain based firm “AQSO arquitectos office” organizes this exhibition curated by Giannantonio Bongiorno, with the support of a wide team of designers, architects, film makers and software developers.
