Talented Finnish and Chinese architects gathered in Shanghai yesterday to brainstorm their inspirations, visions and innovations at an ongoing seminar "Snowball-Event," which is part of Finland's cultural program for the 2010 world Expo.
The three-day event, organized by the Finnish Association of Architects (SaFa), consists of a two-day seminar exploring common grounds and differences between Finnish and Chinese architects, a networking program as well as a one-day excursion.
The program aims to offer insights into the latest achievements of both Finnish and Chinese architects through presentations of new projects to explore solutions and share visions.
It touches upon the common ground between Finnish and Chinese practitioners in the field of sustainable urban and architectural design to establish potential business and creative matches between Finnish and Chinese architects. The theme of the upcoming World Expo, "Better City, Better Life" is also reflected.
Tomorrow, attendees of the seminar will visit the Expo site, the Tongji University, Xintiandi, which is the city's popular entertainment and bar area, and the 1933 Old Millfun, a former slaughterhouse that has been turned into a venue for fashion industry, entertainment, arts, dining and shopping.
