What will the city be like tomorrow? How do we transform the city to make common ground and create a common vision of the city between the East and the West? Theses are the questions that Stefania, exhibition designed by ESADSE students, prepares to answer by showing the projects made by more than 30 French and foreign schools that have worked with China.

Theses are the questions that Stefania, exhibition designed by ESADSE students, prepares to answer by showing the projects made by more than 30 French and foreign schools that have worked with China.

Echoing the problems of intense urbanisation that China is currently going through, the exhibition will take the form of an inter-city named Stefania, at the heart of the Biennale.

In Stefania, time is different, one day here means a year. Visitors will become the host of a living exhibition whose look changes every day throughout the thirty days of the Biennale. ESADSE students invite the public to experience thirty years of life in a city that keeps on evolving. Divided into twelve buildings, this large project offers the visitors to see but also to experience art and design. It is an inhabited exhibition, where the students play different roles: headmasters, place of worship or coffeeshop managers, etc.
