Proposal of Architectural Seminar, 2017 Green Building and Macau

Abstract：

The Architectural Seminar is a series of professional and academic activities organized by the Asia-Pacific Urban Institute of Architecture in Macao. It is also a professional continuing education program. The activities are arranged for architects, engineers, other professionals, and related professional students. By inviting experts and scholars from different countries and regions to share their professional experiences and academic achievements in different areas, we can provide diversified ideas and training channels for Macao architects, engineers and professionals. Urban design, architectural heritage preservation, green and smart cities, urban management, underground space utilization and integrated facility planning, urban renewal, and cross-disciplinary coordination with the relevant disciplines in the development of Macao are included. This will bring valuable experience and suggestions from all aspect for the Macao residents to create livable environment.

The theme of this seminar, Green Building, is to achieve environmental friendliness and resources in the life cycle of the building itself. The production processes will be all included for the effective use of the building, such as site selection, design, construction, operation, maintenance, refurbishment, demolition and other stages. Green buildings are designed to strike a balance between man-made architecture and the natural environment. This requires the design team, architects, engineers, and customers to work closely together at all stages of the project. With the development of economy, the city of Macao has undergone tremendous changes from different aspects. Macao needs green building, and this platform needs to integrate the concept of green building into urban development. Through this seminar, we will strive to provide more experience and sharing for the Macao architectural and construction professionals on this important subject.
