An Online Learning Session Brought to You by Architecture 2030 & AIA Shanghai
Recent advances in computer-aided design and manufacturing have led to greater freedom in form-making. In the best instances, form and function unite to create an integrated, inspirational building, however sometimes these forms are willful and independent of the restrains of clear structure and function. Is it appropriate to create designs that are often extremely inefficient?
Aside from the various understanding of ABW, we would like to use a true story to articulate from another angle of how to achieve sustainable workplace by applying ABW to workplace design projects. Also we will learn how to achieve optimum interior sound quality.

Transit-oriented development (TOD) has overtaken super tall buildings as the preferred development typology in China. TODs, however, are far more complicated and present a myriad of design challenges. Division of building management and ownership, appropriate stacking of functions, structural challenges, and the mitigation of subway vibrations are just a few of the topics to be discussed during the TOD building tour.

China is undergoing rapid technological changes affecting every aspect of life and work. Consumers, for example, are moving away from brick and mortar shops and visiting online retail instead. This is just one example of how consumption patterns and lifestyle choices are disrupting the real estate sector and will continue to do so.
