![]() Some say they got Shanghaied like it’s a bad thing. We know better.
A riot of flavors and colors, rural scenery and metropolitan trade, Shanghai is a handshake between deeply rooted traditions and newfangled ways of culture and commerce. Temples and skyscrapers coexist, and the city hangs on to a touch of antiquity as it strikes an increasingly modern pose. China’s largest city and an emblem of the country’s ever-expanding status in world, Shanghai has emerged as a new center of international design. Cut&Paste descends on its attention-getting skyline this year, with high expectations as the tournament prepares to get Shanghaied.
