Summary/Abstract: In 2019, during the summer semester, the Architecture Faculty of Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University and Tsinghua University School of Architecture in Beijing organized design workshops as a part of the cooperation between the two institutes. The topics of the workshops entailed the need to find urban and architectural solutions as a response to Beijing’s economic and cultural transformations. Under the guidance of the academic staff of their universities, Polish and Chinese students developed conceptual projects to revitalize three selected urban areas in the Chaoyang district in Beijing: Ritan Park, Yabaolu Street, and the Nanxiapo Mosque area. One semester was scheduled to work on design work. The results of the workshops were demonstrated on June 2019 at the Architecture Faculty of Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University, also attended by Chinese students and their project coordinators. The article aims to analyze the experiences from the didactic work, compare the effects of Polish and Chinese students’ design solutions, identify differences between cultures and approaches to the project, and to present the results.
