China
From the InstantHutong project
MARCELLA CAMPA and STEFANO AVESANI have been deeply interested in the change in Chinese cities since 2003. In 2005, they initiated 2 projects that explore the transformation of historical districts in Bejing and Shanghai, China.
Their collaborative work, Urban Carpet, consists of 8 hand-embroidered pieces using the same technique of the propaganda slogans on large fabrics used by the communist party during the seventies . A Hutong is an ancient city alley or lane typical in Beijing, China.
I love these maps, especially the last one shown in its environment. You want to touch them. Thanks for posting.
