Innovate Integrate: Building Better Together

September 29, 2010

Innovate:Integrate is the Center for Architecture's first exhibition devoted to innovative building technologies.

Using contemporary case studies and three-dimensional mock-ups, the exhibition educates the public about how buildings are assembled and presents design professionals with information on the latest integrated construction methodologies.

From the physicality of curtain wall prototyping to the virtual space of BIM (Building Information Modeling), advances in the tools and techniques of construction demonstrate how we are building smarter, greener and in more efficient and economical ways.

Three Dimensional City: Future China

Three Dimensional City: Future China


With collective efforts from world's leading architects and artists, national and international experts and scholars on urban planning, city ecology and environment, decision makers from government and enterprises, "Three Dimensional City" is poised to envision an ideal living environment and future urban ecology.

The project addresses the depletion of land and energy resources.

Not only will it be an enlightening project from which our future urban planning programs can draw inspiration, but also hopes to involve an exhilarating social reformation.

For the first time in 2008, the world's urban population has exceeded that of rural.


As the pattern of urban sprawl hits its peak, urban development is facing a bottleneck, putting a strain on natural resources, and pressure on sustainability.

With attempts to curb global warming by maximizing its reduction of energy consumption and carbon emission, and efforts to reclaim land that has been invaded and occupied in the chaos of horizontally spreading cities, humanity is looking for ideal future cities of high-density residences living in harmony with nature.

"Three Dimensional City: Future China" aims to analyze the subject of how to build a dream city in an area of 1-2 square kilometers with limited material and energy resources to accommodate 100,000 - 300,000 residences.
