Features: This book reflects the thinking of the younger generation in the era of globalization and predicts the direction of urban planning and architectural art in the 21st century. "Emergence" is a technical concept that refers to the ability to solve any complex natural or social phenomenon by finding the rules followed by each individual, which are often simple. "Architectural Generation" refers to generating architecture using computer theory. Today, young international architects primarily study how to apply such new technologies as "emergence" and "architectural generation" to actual architectural design, thereby exploring a new path for architectural development in the information society. This book is a collection of works by young architects for the "Emergence" architectural exhibition at the 2006 China International Architectural Art Biennial. The exhibition aimed to provide a showcase for 48 highly promising young architectural firms, focusing on the creative application of new design and construction technologies. Another part of the "Emergence" architectural exhibition featured student architectural works, displaying the works of students from 24 internationally renowned architectural schools. As part of the series, there is also a collection of student architectural works.
