In recent years, with the rapid and steady economic growth and accelerated urbanization, China’s construction and related markets have always maintained high-speed growth. China has become one of the most dynamic construction markets in the world, which has brought unprecedented opportunities and challenges to the construction industry in and abroad.

The development of construction market is inseparable from the design and materials. To realize the architecture function through good use of materials in architectural designing and the innovation of designing concepts, have become the direction and necessary methods for modern architecture and architectural innovation. Based on the booming of China’s construction market, aimed at serving architectural design and building construction, with the concept of “A Perfect Combination of Architectural Innovation and Materials Innovation”, China International Architectural Expo has been successfully held twice, more than 600 architectural designing institutes, building material and facility companies from nearly 30 countries participated and displayed their latest works, products and technologies. The highlighted accompanying programs, such as “The 12th Asian Congress of Architects”, “Summit of Asian Architects VS Building Materials Entrepreneurs”, “Exhibition of Asian Awarded Architectural Design Works”, “China Summit for Young and Middle-aged Architects on Designing Innovation”, have become the weathervane of architectural design and materials application. The exhibition provided a perfect platform for the communication of architectural designing institutes, building materials and facilities companies and strongly promoted the development of industry chain.

In October 2008, the 3rd China International Architectural Expo will be held following the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Famous institutes and companies of architectural design and building materials will gather again in Beijing to display their latest concepts and technologies to demonstrate the theme of “Innovation Promotes Development, Building Material Enriches Design”.
