The 2024 Tongji University International Construction Festival and the 2024 Fengyu Building Plastic Hollow Board Building Design and Construction Competition will take place from June 8th to June 9th, 2024, at the College of Architecture and Urban Planning of Tongji University. Participating teams include 13 first-year student teams from the College of Architecture and Urban Planning, College of Design and Innovation, and College of Civil Engineering at Tongji University, as well as 17 first-year student teams from China’s architectural colleges, and 7 student teams from architectural colleges in the US, Europe, and Asia. In total, 260 teachers and students will collaborate to design and construct 37 plastic hollow panel buildings.

The construction is scheduled for June 8, 2024 (Saturday), and the award ceremony will take place on June 9, 2024 (Sunday). The construction site is ABC Square at the College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tongji University. Selected projects from this year's construction festival will be considered for the College in Place Plan for the Shiguang Art Ecological Corridor, with the possibility of being implemented in Longyou County, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province.






Suggested Design Theme

Listening to the Voices

From the poetry:


《不寐听雨》

【宋】杨万里

雨到中霄寂不鸣,只风拂树梢轻。

瓦沟收拾残零水,并作檐间一滴

Rain Wakens

YANG Wanli

“Midnight darkens Into rain Silence

Sweeping tipping Windy branch Dance

Running tide Last Canal of Tile

Singular Falling of an Echo”


Interpret the meaning of the above poems and use Listening to the Voices as the topic to interpret and imagine, integrating auditory experience into space, and using this as an intention for design and construction practice.

The opening rate of building roofs needs to be maintained between 10%-40% (points will be deducted if it is insufficient or exceeded).The building needs to provide two main and secondary entrances and exits and form a good streamline organization relationship with the internal and external spaces.











Suggested environmental intentions for this construction festival

Between urban and rural

Under the new trend of small-town development, urban-rural linkage is becoming a key issue, and people's attention is gradually shifting from large cities to numerous county towns and transitional zones between urban and rural areas. There is a place between rural China and urban China, not far from the city, but also with rural nature.

In this construction festival, the participating design team needs to set a specific environment between urban and rural areas, such as towns, villages, fields, hills, forests, etc., as the location of the building. In combination with the design intention of listening to the voices, they need to use their own sound devices and specific material properties to design and construct. At the same time, they need to express the sound relationship between the structure and the site environment in the design drawings.





2024 is the year of the resumption of the festival, and we welcome the new and old friends of the Tongji University International Construction Festival to meet again at the College of Architecture and Urban Planning of Tongji University during the Dragon Boat Festival !
