Now to focus on the work at hand.
Our studio work is going well. Our team includes three MIT students and two Tsinghua students, consisting of a South African, Australian, two Chinese students and an American. Luckily we work well together and are able to produce a large amount of work in fairly short time. The studio project is the redevelopment of a giant state-owned steel mill and industrial site on the Western edge of Beijing. This week’s work was focused primarily on the conceptual framework and overall planning of the project. We gave team presentations on Tuesday and Friday, worked pretty hard and the work was reasonably well received. On Friday we finished our presentations, went to the hotel packed a bag, took an overnight train to Xi’an and were visiting the famed Terracotta Army before we knew what had happened.
