Recombinant SOHO

Pratt Institute

Critic: David Ruy

Beijing- The Recombinant SOHO housing project is the future of China's urban context, as mass urbanization and population growth continue to densify its cities and urban housing projects. The specific extreme density and architectural conditions of this project in Beijing, China, along with its presence within the news and social media, video game design and environmental health investigations, are an early projection for the rest of China's urbanity. At the present rate, space and form is being redefined, manifesting in possible future replicants of this adapted SOHO project.
