The exhibition Working at Home: Architects during the Pandemic in China shows the spatial condition of homeworking by Chinese architects during the Pandemic. It also showcases recent work of Chinese architectural practices to demonstrate the current thinking of how to be at home in the city during and after the pandemic.
