15th Vienna Architecture Congress
Chinaproduction

Location: Architekturzentrum Wien - Podium
Congress: Saturday 24 November 2007, 1pm - 9pm
Tickets: EUR 9,50 / EUR 7.50 reduced

The aim of the 15th Vienna Architecture Kongress is to reflect as comprehensive an image of current 'Chinaproduction' as possible, on the basis of project descriptions and analyses by Chinese architects and architecture theorists. Traditional China and a country modernising rapidly usually confront one another directly. The building boom with projects by Chinese and international architects is behind a continuous exchange of ideas and expertise between China, Asia and the Western world. A critical observation of the massive process of urbanisation in China and the questions raised by the prospects for the future of a "world laboratory" of urban planning and architecture in the global context do not only affect China.
