Team of Graduate Students from 

the School of Design’s Department of Architecture 

Made the Top 28 at the 2019 LAGI

LAGI (the Land Art Generator Initiative) is one of the most popular and prominent sustainable design events. It explores how expanding renewable energy resources can impact design and the environment in an aesthetic sense by furthering interdisciplinary cooperation, cultural integration, and technological innovation.

This year, LAGI 2019 initiated a new challenge—and cooperated with the 24th World Energy Congress, which made it the largest and most influential meetings on world energy so far, with a focus on innovation and dialogue on energy problems representing a history of 95 years.

The goal of LAGI 2019 is to put forward a series of feasible conceptual designs and to breakthrough the current limits of renewal energy technology.

We congratulate the two 2018 graduate teams from the department of architecture at the School of Design on making the Top 28 in the competition. They earned the spot after competing with over 600 teams and qualified for the 2019 World Renewable Energy Design Competition, one of the highest level international college student design competitions.

A total of five graduate teams, consisting of both Chinese and foreign students, from the department of architecture participated through individual design projects.

The work for the competition was done by combining the two fields of architecture and architecture technology, led by the joint efforts of advising professors Wenbin Fan, Haiao Zhang, and participating students.

The 2019 LAGI is closing at 23:59 local time on May 12th, 2019. And the 24th World Energy Congress award ceremony and exhibition will be held from September 9th to 12th 2019 in Abu Dhabi in the UAE.
