Professor Ding Jiemin - Gold Medal Address 2018

His lecture explains how structural design:

• should fully reflect the beauty of architectural design and make it more rational and safe (making reference to the Shanghai Tower project)
• can make full use of characteristics of various materials so that they can be reflected in the architecture
• should pay attention to the development of architectural technology and absorb into the existing structural system (making reference to the Tangshan Gymnasium project and high-rise buildings in high seismic areas) 
• will surely achieve a brighter future when combined with architectural and innovated design techniques
