An Exclusive Interview with Dong Weiwei, One of the "20 Outstanding Engineering Designers"

Dong Weiwei, deputy chief architect at HDD, is a national first-class registered architect, a senior engineer, an expert of Scientific and Technical Committee of Shanghai Construction and Transportation Commission. He has been committed himself to architecture design for over 20 years and maintains a unique and keen understanding of architecture. Dong has been involved in many projects in the fields of educational, cultural, hospitality and office architecture as well in the design of commercial complexes, and has led efforts in many national and major municipal projects. His works have garnered well-known national and international awards, such as the APEC Major Contribution Award, Shanghai Excellent Engineering Survey and Design Award, Gold Award of National Classic Residential Architecture Planning and Design Scheme Competition, and Red Star Design Award.

In his practice, Dong Weiwei is a proponent of minimalism and always adheres to the design concept of utilizing simple forms to express the intrinsic richness of architecture. He is an expert in coping with the project constraints such as cost control, structural safety and normative restriction, and is capable of simplifying the complexities. He explores the niches between the architectural space and human perception through architectural elements such as "light", "traffic flow", "scale" and "detail", so as to endow the buildings with dual attributes to satisfy both the needs of the public behavior and the spiritual pursuit. Through a concise design language, he provides people with an emotional experience of architecture as he firmly believes that vivid, interesting and user-friendly buildings are more rich of culture and long-lasting.
