Yang Hai, partner of AIA Life Designers Group and general manager of China, participated in the round table dialogue and discussed with 5 architects from different backgrounds around "Architecture and Reality".
“Introduction”
Interconnection is a review of the evolution of architecture over the past few decades. It invites us to reflect on its necessary evolution, as the ecological crisis forces us to rethink our architecture and life-style. What will be the reality of architecture in decades to come?

As a renowned group of architects and engineers in France, AIA Life Designers has long been committed to the construction practices of health and sustainable development, striving to achieve the goal of promoting the harmonious existence of humanity, society, and nature.
Yang Hai explained the principle of arranging energy plant close to the city through the case of a waste incineration power station implemented in Paris center: reducing secondary pollution during garbage transportation, and the electricity generated after garbage treatment can quickly feed back the city, resulting in efficient energy utilization. Fully integrate architecture with urban functions and public needs.

In China, taking Ningbo Yinzhou Domestic Waste Incineration Power Plant as an example, although the factory wasn't built in city center, the building itself can tell its own story, telling how to convert waste into new energy. A simple metaphor here: "Bees collect pollen, bring it back to the hive, and make honey; garbage trucks travel through the city to collect garbage, bring it back to the factory, and convert it into energy." By shaping the space and facade, we created a 'honeycomb factory'. The honeycomb factory has become a medium, attracting the public's attention to environmental issues, such as the environment protection, garbage classification, and energy regeneration, and thus becoming a museum of domestic waste treatment and a youth education base.
