A little taste of the Expo

Yep, just a sneak peak . . Don't want to get in trouble or anything !

The Dragon

Just South of Shanghai they are building a project that everyone keeps calling, ' The Dragon ' . It's a new " super-green-indoor-motivational-community-city " . . or something like that. Point being : it looks amazing, and is really pushing the boundaries of new architectural motives in China. Check it out !

Chinese Materials Factory

Last week I had the privelage of visiting the E Grow factory, just south of Shanghai. They are responsible for producing all those fancy panels that make Frank Ghery and Hadid look like Gods. Their factory is small, but the production line is smooth. They've got robots for everything : and by robots, I mean people . . literally. The guys working in the factory, and on the computers were so fast, I couldn't catch them with my camera even if I tried.
