The designs will be realized next year in Beijing by the Chinese project developer and NAi partner VANKE.

In this new exhibition, the NAi, museum for architecture, presents its models in an extraordinary configuration; the models are not displayed on plinths in an empty gallery space but are laid out like a typically Dutch city with new housing developments and historic centres.
