24 Hours in Chongqing with Signyan Design
Chongqing is built in tiers, stacked against mountains and rivers. This guide follows its everyday rhythms: the exchange between old and new architecture, and the neighborhood life that happens in between.
Our host here is Signyan, a design studio whose projects range across hotels, restaurants, galleries and shops, from the Tibetan plateau to central Shanghai — but which works from here in Chongqing.
This is their version of Chongqing: the neighborhoods, buildings, and warm hospitality that make it worth the climb.
24 Hours in Shanghai with Linehouse
Spend 24 hours exploring the old, the new, the local, and the global in one of our favorite design classrooms: Shanghai.
Who’s our guide for a discovery tour of modern Shanghai? Our inspiring friends at Linehouse, the female-founded architecture and design studio that approaches every project with curiosity, humanity, and a deep sense of materiality and craft. Allow them to show you their Shanghai.
