New Silk Road | The Architecture of the Belt and Road Initiative
Professor Michele Bonino (China Room, DAD – Politecnico di Torino), Professor Francesco Carota (China Room, University of Kansas), and Sofia Leoni (PhD Candidate, China Room, DIST – Politecnico di Torino) will present their new book “New Silk Road: The Architecture of the Belt and Road Initiative” (Birkhauser, 2025) Initiative in conversation with Professor Davide Ponzini (DASTU, Politecnico di Milano) and Alp Arda (Joint PhD Candidate between Politecnico di Torino and Tsinghua University, China Room, DAD).
Conceived as a scholarly dialogue, the event will critically engage with the epistemological, spatial, and political dimensions of global infrastructure. The discussion will position architecture as a lens through which to interrogate transnational urbanism and the territorial reconfigurations driven by large-scale development agendas such as the Belt and Road Initiative.
The book offers both a critical appraisal and an architectural guide to the Belt and Road Initiative. It features contributions by Professor Francesca Governa, Professor Charlie Xue, Lidia Preti, Giulia Montanaro, and Stefano Mondozzi; photographs by Ivo Tavares, Paulo Moreira, Al Yousuf, and Raul Ariano; and drawings by Sofia Leoni.
The seminar will be held both in person, in the Sala dei Gigli of Castello del Valentino, and online at this link.
Event coordinated by Camilla Forina and Leonardo Ramondetti.
