» 3X3 A PERSPECTIVE ON CHINA   |  THE FUTURE FAST FORWARD


3x3 Lecture Part I, April 17, 2006

"Future fast forward" not only indicates the daunting speed of construction for tomorrow, but also implies the rapid emergence of unpredictable conditions resulting from speed. When the world is excited and encouraged by China's speed, the insiders only become more and more concerned. Whether it will be nicer to turn the button from "fast" into "slow", and change "forward" into "backward", once we are all targeting for a better future? And if so, what kind of architectural strategy is feasible for a realistic practice that everyday needs to work in a condition that can be circumscribed as a dirty reality? The joint presentation between Urbanus, a local firm with native designers, and Dynamic City Foundation, a "local" firm with foreign designers, will provide insiders' views on the issue of "density", which is an inevitable topic for the future of China.
