On September 6, the “New Era, New Model: ‘Fully Elevated Ground Floor’ Innovative Residential Technology Summit,” hosted by SOUJIANZHU-a leading media platform in China's architecture sector—was successfully held in Tianjin. As a professional platform dedicated to uncovering global exemplary architectural projects and building industry databases, SOUJIANZHU convened diverse industry stakeholders to focus on the core theme of “spatial reconfiguration.” Together, they explored pathways for product innovation and multi-stakeholder win-win development within the new real estate cycle. ARCHILAND was invited as a key guest speaker and delivered a keynote address at the summit. The presentation explored the evolution of Tianjin's urban planning and the implementation of residential diversity policies. Drawing on practical case studies, it delved into how residential design can achieve synergistic innovation in functionality and experience under the dual drivers of current urban development and policy initiatives, offering forward-thinking and practical insights for the industry.

On September 6, Search Architecture hosted the “New Residential Technology Summit: ‘Fully Elevated Ground Floor’” in Tianjin. Mr. Fang Yi, Chief Architect of ARCHILAND, attended and delivered a keynote speech, systematically sharing insights on Tianjin's policy innovations and residential product evolution.

Elevated decks have evolved through four stages from “gray spaces” into core urban carriers: 1.0 Policy Breakthrough (2021): First inclusion of elevated decks in open space calculations, transforming them into urban living rooms; 2.0 Full Elevation (2022): Achieved comprehensive elevation through incentive policies while reducing costs; 3.0 Citywide Replication (2022-2024): Scaling best practices to create a policy-market win-win model; 4.0 City-Enterprise Symbiosis (2024+): Permitting functional compatibility and vertical integration to elevate elevated floors into urban infrastructure—a cornerstone of fifth-generation residential development.

Fang Yi emphasized that elevated decks represent a win-win solution: governments enhance land efficiency, developers reduce costs and increase premiums, while residents gain access to more public services. He concluded by urging the industry to return to “product-centric principles,” creating homes that genuinely respect land and care for life.
