Description
China as the most populous country in the world set goals for an unprecedented urbanization rate in the late 1980s. These goals brought tremendous opportunities for both local and foreign architects and planners. After 30 years of non-stop building the tallest, the biggest new cities, and the most complex development. Today, we have arrived at a crossroads of self-reflection for her future city and architecture design identity as well as the resulting quality of her environment. Her ambitions now further set her sights as a world leader in innovation and the fight against climate change. It is with this backdrop that AIA Shanghai | Beijing presents the Master Lecture Series with Edward Mazria, FAIA, who received the AIA Gold Medal 2021, founder of Architecture 2030, and Qingyun Ma, AIA, Partner of MADA s.p.a.m and the former Dean of the School of Architecture, University of Southern California.
Edward Mazria will update us on the state of the 2030 commitment from a global perspective, keeping the Paris Agreement 1.5oC alive, and the transformation underway in the built environment to address the most pressing issues of our time – urbanization, energy, and climate change. Ma will take us through his journey in fighting climate change with cultural sensitivity and achievable local craft with the most sustainable material wood.
Join us on these thought-provoking master lectures at the WeWork (Weihai Road) in Shanghai, or online, followed by a Q&A after each presentation and a networking session. Light refreshments will be served for those attending the live event.
The event is open to AIA members and the design community. All are welcome to join us. RSVP is required, but space at the venue is limited.
