Star Architects Fumihiko Maki, Paul Katz And Rocco Yim Relocate To Shanghai For Top-tier Conference.
Hong Kong (February 12, 2010) /ChinaNewswire.com/ — The groundbreaking conference that brought the world's leading architects, designers and developers together is back with a bang for 2010. Relocating from Hong Kong to Shanghai's New Int'l Expo Centre, this year the conference will be held in conjunction with the 18th Annual Expo Build China.
The concept behind the event is "Building Cities for a Better Life", complementing the theme of the Shanghai Expo which will open in May this year. The initial speaker line-up is headed by opening keynote and Japanese architecture legend Fumihiko Maki. Joining him on a wide ranging programme that spans design and business issues are Paul Katz, president of Kohn Pedersen Fox – the firm behind Hong Kong and Shanghai's tallest buildings and green building expert Roger Frechette. Representing Hong Kong will be the city's most renowned home-grown architect, Rocco Yim.
Ashford Pritchard, Associate Director of organiser Facility Media and the producer of the event, says: "The Architecture & Design Conference is the ideal platform for the building industry to engage with the artistic minds that create our cities. This year we will be focusing on how architects can work with developers to build urban environments that enhance their inhabitants lives." An business conference that will bring industry leaders from China and abroad together to discuss the future of design, The Architecture & Design conference 2.0 is expected to educate and inspire in equal measure.
