ZHENGZHOU (CINA) – Il fotografo Feng Dapeng ha immortalato la vita all’interno degli “appartamenti-capsula”. Siamo a Zhengzhou in Cina: qui, decine di studenti cinesi in questi mini-spazi che vengono affitatti per poter vivere vicino alle università. Di solito le stanze-capsula si trovano in strutture simili a ostelli ed hanno una decina di posti letto, i bagni e delle zone destinate ad area comune. Queste soluzioni abitative sono nate in Giappone, paese noto per l’altissima densità abitativa. Per rispondere alle esigenze espansive delle città cinesi, questa soluzione sta ora diventando popolarissima anche in Cina (foto LaPresse)
