For the next two months, TDH will be working on the new project for the Shenzhen Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture (UABB) 2022. The group was invited to jointly participate with SCUT by presenting an installation titled “GBA Uninterruped”, a mosaic of territorial sections running through the post-industrial city.
Thanks to these achievements, Polito Studio entered heart of its second year by opening to Latin America: 12 studios have been selected through a public competition and will participate to a two-year collaborative learning process to approach the Latin American market, leading to a total of 24 architecture practices involved in the project.
In parallel to TDH's activities in the Chinese market, the new group ACTO ('action' in Spanish), an acronym for 'Architecture Collective Torino' made up of selected studios for Latin America, was set up and started its training programme to take part, together with DAD, in a public competition announced by the ERU (Empresa de Renovación y Desarrollo Urbano de Bogotá) in collaboration with the Universidad Javeriana De Bogotá.
