Winy Maas will give a lecture as part of the plenary discussion on "Tall Buildings and Context: Appropriate High Rise Vernaculars" at the CTBUH international conference taking place in Shenzhen on 18 October 2016.

His lecture is part of this year’s theme which considers the Pearl River Delta as a platform for exploring the real impact – both positive and negative – of density, vertical growth, and concentrated urban infrastructure, not only in China but around the world. In an unprecedented first for a CTBUH conference, the event will take place progressively across three cities, beginning with two presentation days and a day of technical tours in Shenzhen, before moving on to explore the industrial powerhouse, Guangzhou, then the premier urban laboratory that is Hong Kong.

Date: 18th October 2016

Time: 09:15-10:45 and 15:45-17:15

Location: Grand Hyatt Shenzhen, 1881 Baoan Nan Road, Luohu District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China
