Abstract
China's rapid growth has created great opportunities for design and construction of projects that not only transform sites but cities. This work combines local, national, and international expertise in developing memorable designs that seek to humanize urban life and emphasize the importance of visionary clients. Innovative examples of work in China will be presented with emphasis on three iconic projects designed and built for Poly Corporation based in China. These projects include developments in Beijing and Guangzhou and introduce the use of locally supplied materials and construction techniques. The Poly Corporate Headquarters, the Poly Real Estate Headquarters, and the Poly International Plaza, and will be described through innovative ideas that integrate urban planning, structure, and architecture.
