Wenzhou, China

Morrell Architects has made an application to the Australian International Cultural Council grants program to assist with staging a seminar to help promote Australia expertise in architectural design and technology.

The seminar would address a key question: How can we best employ modern (often Western) construction technology within an existing cultural setting while maintaining the core aesthetics, values and design principles of the particular culture?

There is an overall desire within the Chinese government to increase the quality of construction and expected useful building life with a view to decreasing consumption of imported raw materials.
