This edition of Studio as Book comprises a collection of writings and an edited selection of undergraduate design work from the Joint International Design (JID) Studio, an experimental 3rd year programme based at the University of Westminster in London and taught in conjunction with the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing.
