EXPERIENCE AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES

15 years ago, the German architect Thomas Fritzsche ventured a new
beginning and moved to Shanghai. A lot has happened since then. In
China 75 buildings have been completed and even more major projects
are in the stage of planning. German values are still known as a
feature of quality, but China is converting. It seems as if time
runs faster there than in the rest of the world. Structural
experiments are expanded and developed quicker, instead of mass
their focus is more and more on quality and sustainability. This
shift, however, gives many opportunities to new, interesting
potentials – starting with the role of architects in society to the
use of smart technologies. In today's podcast episode we talk to
our guest Thomas Fritzsche from thomas fritzsche architects about
his fascination for constructing in China.
