BusinessWeek and Architectural Record Announce “Good Design is
Good Business” China Award Winners

  New York, NY (March 10, 2008) — BusinessWeek and Architectural Record will honor building andplanning projects that are reshaping modern China at the second biannual “Good Design Is Good Business” China Awards in Shanghai on May 23, 2008. A jury of editors has selected 13 projects, as well as this year’s “Best Client,” innovative real-estate developer China Vanke Co., Ltd., from more than 100 entries from mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, based on their use of design to achieve strategic business and civic objectives.

  “This year’s winning projects reflect the growing sophistication of architecture and construction in China,”said Robert Ivy, FAIA, vice president and editorial director for McGraw-Hill Construction and editor in chief of Architectural Record, “and this year’s business winners demonstrate that good design is changing the face of China in complex larger projects and individual buildings.”

  “The degree to which design projects make sense from both a functional and aesthetic perspective dictates their success,” said David Rocks, international senior editor of BusinessWeek. “These architects and clients have developed innovative venues with measureable results, spaces that yield benefits beyond being useful, but that positively affect the businesses, organizations and visitors on a daily basis.”

  Winners include the architects and clients of projects that range from major new additions to a city’s urban fabric (Shanghai South Station and Beijing Finance Street), to important cultural facilities (Liangzhu Culture Museum, Dafen Art Museum, Suzhou Museum, and the Sino-French Center at Tongji University). Some showcase innovative social developments (Ningbo Eastern New City Economical Housing), while others are elegantly designed individual residences (Southside House in Hong Kong and the Dutch Ambassador’s Residence in Beijing). A new category for interiors recognizes the Vanke Experience Center, an exhibition facility. Other honorees include projects that feature sustainable design strategies (Sunny Bay Station/Disney Resort Line and Chongming North Lake District Planning/Chongqi Channel Environmental Landscape Planning) and the successful conversion of an old factory into offices for a modern design firm (Horizon Design Co.). Below is the full list of winning projects, and the architects, planners and clients responsible for them.
