Interactive Exchange with Architectural Students in Henan, China: A Dynamic and Engaging Experience
Recently, we had the privilege of participating as guest critics for the master thesis presentations of architectural students in Henan, China. It was an honour to review their innovative projects and provide feedback. Following the presentations, we had the opportunity to engage in an interactive discussion.

During our visit, we shared the story of our office, from its humble beginnings to the establishment of our current practice. We detailed our first steps, challenges, and milestones, providing a personal and inspiring narrative for the students. This presentation sparked a plethora of questions from the students, who were keen to learn about the intricacies of running an architectural office.

Our discussion also covered the differences between working with private and non-private clients, and we explained the unique challenges each type of client presents. Additionally, we delved into the topics of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital twin. We had an open and engaging discussion, comparing the approaches to BIM in China and Europe.
The exchange was dynamic and stimulating, providing valuable insights for both the students and our team. We left Henan with a sense of fulfilment, grateful for the opportunity to interact with such enthusiastic and talented students. The experience was enriching, reinforcing the importance of cross-cultural exchanges in the field of architecture.
