AIA Shanghai Update - December 2023

AIA Shanghai roundup of recent events

As the Chapter is in the process of applying for NGO status, we have not been able to organize any events under the AIA Shanghai name. Therefore, we have acted as a supporting partner for events hosted by an aligned organisation. Over the summer and autumn months, we have been involved with a variety of events including:

  1. China International Exposition of Urban Construction

  2. Lingang International Green Building Forum

  3. AmCham Urban Renewal Event

  4. ZAK World of Facades Conference

  5. GX718 Shanghai Curtain Wall shared design festival

  6. DAF Asia Conference on design and application of façade

  7. FAIA Forum with newly elevated FAIAs

  8. Design on the 19th Asian Games

  9. AHEC sponsored Wood in Architecture event in Beijing.

  10. XArch Symposium at XJTL University.

In 2024, we will be continuing with our ongoing Fellowship, Students and Mentorship programs. We hope to hold our Annual Members Gala on 20 January. Finally, the NGO application is a critical focus for us, and we are working to submit it in January 2024.
