The term ‘blueprint’ , as an architect’s tool, refers to both the archive of history and the imagination of the future. Great architects transform reality through visionary thinking. Buildings are the largest and most long-lasting public medium in human society, and it is crucial to continuously maintain advancements that inspire and contrast with the ethos and culture of the city, the region and the nation.

History is the wealth of Beijing, not its end. Ignoring tradition is an abandonment of identity, but one must also consider the long-term goals and future of the city. Through the imagining of the future, we can find temporary anchors between tradition and innovation, local and global, individual and group, preservation and development. To find a new way through constant confrontation and tension — it is an experiment that never ends.
