Co-hosted with the SWITCH-Asia Project “Train the Trainers”, the European Chamber Shanghai is delighted to invite you to the next seminar in the urbanisation series of events. The event “Shanghai Expo Two Years On: A Talk with Architects” will take place at the Sofitel Shanghai Hyland (505 Nanjing Road East) on Wednesday, 16 May, 5pm, with registrations beginning at 4:30pm.
Two years following the succesful staging of the Shanghai Expo in 2010, architects from some of the most popular pavilions will share first-hand insight into their original inspiration and design ideas as well as the challenges to transform the pavilions into built work. With attention to environment having been a central feature of the Shanghai Expo 2010, the architects will elaborate on the sustainability of their respective pavilions and on their after-life post-Expo.
