Green architecture - Danwei Plenary Session

UPDATE: We are sorry to announce that Danwei's Third Plenary Session has been postponed because of suddenly announced onerous security requirements from the local police. We will organize a new date for the event when things calm down in Beijing. Please see our post Danwei's Third Plenary Session postponed.

Sick of talking about the Olympics?

Danwei presents the Third Plenary Session, scheduled for August 1 at The Orange in The Village at Sanlitun:

A short discussion with Jason Marriott, principal of Woods Bagot Beijing studio, about 'green architecture', and which buildings in Beijing are really built to save energy and do minimum harm to the environment. Marriot was the chief foreign design architect for the Olympic Village in Beijing.

Invited guests, who will be encouraged to ask tough questions, include Chinese and foreign journalists and academics with green and environmental research areas.

The discussion will be followed by canapés, networking, and wines from some of Australia's most famous regions, provided by The Wine Republic.

This event is sponsored by The Village at Sanlitun, with media support from City Weekend.

If its sponsored by "The Village at Sanlitun", why the 150 rems at the door?

Deek

Because these are capitalist roader times, our work unit has no subsidy and we have become greedy capitalists.

A door charge helps pay for wine and food, and has the additional benefit of keeping the riff raff away.
