Foresight | How can architectural designers thrive in a downturn in the industry?


In the past many years, architectural designers have been one of the most popular “highlight” professions, but when the real estate market enters a downturn, the so-called “master” scenery is no longer..

So, do we really need so many architectural designers?.

In 2024, Hainan International Cultural and Creative Week has entered its fifth year, and the AIM International Design Competition has also entered its 14th year. At the age of 14, we are in the prime of our lives. Over the past 14 years, we have witnessed countless collisions and integrations of design ideas, showcasing our unique influence in architectural innovation, urban IP creation, rural empowerment, and cultural and creative revitalization..

As a global competition platform, we are always committed to promoting innovative development in general design and architecture; As a leading platform, the AIM International Design Competition carries the mission of Architects In Mission, adhering to the design philosophy of “making the present with the future”, and committed to creating an environment of free communication and common innovation..

We have specially invited senior architects, young designers, and creative professionals from the industry, aiming to build communication bridges and connect senior professionals and emerging design forces in the industry. We jointly explore the value and impact of architecture in the current commercial, cultural, and social environment. The goal of AIM is to inspire new explorations in design through these dialogues, helping young designers grow and develop in a constantly changing market environment, enabling them to follow the footsteps of industry masters and achieve their own leapfrog growth. Our forum brings together experienced leaders, researchers, and practitioners in the field of architectural design, sharing their non-traditional exploration experiences in broad design over the years, providing forward-looking perspectives and inspiration for the problems faced by current architectural design..

In the context of globalization and technology driven era, innovation and collaboration have become key factors driving the progress of the design industry. Based on this concept, the AIM International Design Competition has launched the “AIM X Top Ten Universities Alliance and Top Ten Domestic and Foreign Design Competition Platform Alliance” plan, with the aim of promoting strong alliances among all parties by building an interdisciplinary, cross regional, and cross-cultural cooperation network. Adhering to the principle of “co construction, sharing, and win-win” cooperation, we aim to establish a long-term, stable, and mutually beneficial cooperation system. Through this alliance, the sharing and mutual assistance of resources and information can be achieved in key stages of design competitions, including guidance, evaluation, award presentation, release, promotion, and other aspects. This deep level cooperation model will not only enhance the influence of participating universities and platforms, but also provide a broader learning, communication, and exhibition platform for young designers, thereby stimulating design innovation and accelerating talent growth..

On the occasion of celebrating the 14th anniversary of the AIM International Design Competition, we are honored to launch the “AIM Co Creation Exhibition”. This is not only a review of excellent design works from the past 14 years, but also a tribute and invitation to all AIMer communities. The special exhibition will showcase our AIM’s development history, award-winning works over the past 14 years, as well as our achievements in architecture, IP cultural and creative industries, homestays, design, research, AIGC, and nature museums.
