From March to August 2006 four offices, representing some of the
most promising young Danish architects, have worked together with
professors, PhD and postgraduate students from four of the most
prestigious Chinese Universities. The project teams, each consisting of
one Danish office and one Chinese university, have developed proposals
for sustainable urban development in the four Chinese cities of
Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai and Xi’an. They have been advised by and
received consultancy services from the Danish engineering company Carl
Bro and they have held workshops in both China (twice) and in Denmark
(once). In addition, the Chinese professors have lectured at the two
schools of architecture in Denmark and a Danish professor has lectured
at the four Chinese universities.
