Cannon Design organized a roundtable at the 751 lecture hall coinciding with the exhibition ‘Unmade in China’ presented at the 2012 Beijing Design Week. The event featured projects developed by the architectural firms featured in the exhibition followed by a discussion about the particular characteristics of the design process in the Chinese market.
Brechtje Spreeuwers, researcher at Go West Project, Michael Tunkey, principal at Cannon Design, Luis Aguirre (AQSO), Jan Felix, director Sparch and Shu Yan Chan, associate at UNStudio, shared their points of view about the typical project conditions and requirements given by the clients, -often unsettled-, the mutation, recycling, and imitation of ideas happening in this scenario as well as the singularities of the working method, adapted to offer architectural solutions in a limited and competitive time-frame.
