Design Cities
DesignFan’s documented cities
These collections stay close to DesignFan’s published work. They are not city guides or directory pages.

City entity
Guangzhou
Guangzhou’s design culture is shaped by commerce, production and a long habit of making. This collection brings together projects and practitioners with a tangible connection to the city.

City entity
Shenzhen
From retail experiments to workplace interiors, Shenzhen projects often make the speed of a young city visible in material, programme and public encounter.

City entity
Foshan
Foshan is a productive testing ground for Chinese showroom design, where manufacturing knowledge and brand space meet in built form.

City entity
Dongguan
Dongguan’s industrial networks give commercial interiors a close relationship with material, fabrication and the everyday life of making.
