Archi-Union Architects is staying on the cutting-edge of the industry as the local firm completed the conference center construction of Shanghai's West Bund in just 100 days. To do so, the company utilized innovative digital building techniques. With the use of robots and artificial intelligence, Archi-Union Architects delivers a geometry-forward complex with three conference venues.
Thanks to the developments of digital tech, functional algorithms, and machine learning, the conference center construction is not only ultra-efficient but it also features some exceptionally material use. Dubbed 'Venue B,' the new addition proves to be "[one] of the most lightweight structures available in modern buildings." To adequately break-up the volumes of the complex, Archi-Union Architects inserts garden courtyard amid the triangular spaces.
