This issue features DnA, the Beijing-based firm led by architect Xu Tiantian. Since 2004, DnA has been designing public buildings that bridge culture, industry, and infrastructure in rural China. Prior to launching her own office, Xu worked for several design firms in the United States and the Netherlands, including OMA. The magazine features 25 works by DnA, organised into four clusters located near China’s south-eastern coast: repurposing abandoned quarries in Jinyun County, revitalising Fujian ‘tulou’ (rural dwellings unique to the Hakka Chinese subgroup), public facilities in Songyang County, and the creation of a cultural museum to showcase local traditions on Meizhou Island.
