Role Play 2 Beijing

Role Play focuses on the professional lives of Columbia GSAPP alumni in China through a series of conversations. Today’s practices in the fields of architecture and urbanism are no longer restrained to their traditional roles, instead pursuing a range of paths that explore alternative projects and roles. These professionals translate and apply architectural knowledge to other fields, industries, and discourses. This type of role play, in turn has enriched and made more complex the discussions on architecture, urbanism and beyond. As a laboratory of architectural experiments, China helps to catalyze such processes, in which Columbia GSAPP alumni play a central role.

Organized by GSAPP alumni and hosted at the Columbia Global Center Beijing.
