CUHK School of Architecture and the Sustainable Built Environment Research Group & Department of Architecture and Built Environment of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China are organising the Building Technology and Culture in the Asia-Pacific Region: Histories and Projects international symposium, with the support of the Royal Institute for British Architecture.
The event aims at discussing the impact of the social and cultural dimensions on building technology in contemporary architectural practice and the history of architecture. It interrogates the history of building technology and its relation to the history of technology and cultural history (Theme 1). It looks at the current architectural practice, questioning how dominant social forces and conventions define and direct technological and material choices in design (Theme 2). We invite discussions on the relationship between technology and culture, focusing on the Asia-Pacific region since the 1970s.
