Women in Architecture Event 

March 8 

In today’s ever-evolving market environment, every industry faces its own set of challenges. That’s why we have invited leaders from various sectors to our Women’s National Day event to share their stories of transformation and adaptation in this new era to Women’s National Day event. Our goal is to provide a valuable opportunity for learning and exchange as we embark on this new journey together. AIA Shanghai collaborated with the local industry leaders China Resources Land and SSR to host this event. 

In 2024, we will be continuing with our ongoing Fellowship, Students and Mentorship programs. We hope to hold our Annual Members Gala on 20 January. Finally, the NGO application is a critical focus for us, and we are working to submit it in January 2024.
