Delirious Shanghai

In 2014 two architects arrived to Shanghai to start a new life, away from family and friends. Seven years later they decide to share their story of adaptation to the frantic life in the world's most populated metropolis. ‘The most enduring social change in China took place in the early years of the twentieth century, in a series of dramatic changes in urban culture. Although the Chinese have lived in a different socio-historical and political landscape than most of the developed world, it was not a change of political discourse, but a change in living conditions and technological advances that catapulted them to the future. For these reasons and more, Shanghai is the central piece in the history and culture of China — an architecture with implications that has sprung with incredible success.’
