From October 29 to November 1, 2021, the series of activities for the 19th Asian Congress of Architects (ACA19) were held one after another after long-term preparation. Among them, ARCASIA Student Jamboree 2021 was the first to be held online on October 29. It attracted more than 100 students and mentors from the 15 member association of architects of ARCASIA.
As a traditional fixed part of the ACA, the Student Jamboree tried the new form of online organization and interaction this year. It included two parts, namely thematic workshops and lectures by architects. It was convened by Li Yanbo, the convener of the Student Jamboree for the ACA19, a member of the Architectural Society of China (ASC) and associate professor from the College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tongji University. He set the theme “Reconnecting Our Community” for the workshop according to the modern characteristics of cities and villages and the global situation under the impacts of the pandemic in recent years. The assignment was sent to the participating delegations one week in advance for preliminary preparation. As for the session of lectures by architects, leading architects and scholars in architecture were invited to give speeches and answer questions from the audiences. The activities for this year’s student jamboree lasted three days.
