WACA背景
自20世紀80年代以來，隨著亞洲華人聚集地區經濟的蓬勃發展，越來越多的華人、華裔建築師在世界各地從業並取得了豐碩成果。90年代，中國內地的城市化進程如火如荼，幾乎佔據了全球建設量的一半。眾多才華橫溢的海外華人、華裔建築師希望回國參與國內建築市場，而國內培養的優秀建築師們也渴望快速吸收國外的建築設計經驗用於實踐。在這樣的歷史背景下，2004年4月24日，世界華人建築師協會（WACA）在上海成立，成為當時華人建築界的一件盛事，得到了海內外華人、華裔建築師的大力支持與參與。著名華人建築家貝聿銘先生作為名譽創會會員，對WACA的成立給予了高度認可、贊許和支援。我們誠摯地向社會各界徵集回顧（展望）文章、論文及作品。
《世界華人建築師學報》Journal of World Chinese Architects (刊號：ISSN2436-4649)，是世界華人建築師協會主辦的學術期刊。由青島理工大學承辦，集專題論文、理論研究、建築設計、建築師專訪的國際專業刊物。自2023年創刊以來，收錄了世界華人建築師、研究學者的建築作品和研究成果。未來將立足國際視野，持續探索建築領域前沿理論和設計實踐。
WACA Background
Since the 1980s, with the booming economy of the Asian Chinese region, more and more Chinese and ethnic Chinese architects have been practicing in different parts of the world and have achieved fruitful results. in the 1990s, the urbanization process in Mainland China was in full swing, which accounted for almost half of the global construction volume. Many talented overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese architects wished to return to China to participate in the domestic architectural market, while the outstanding architects trained in China were eager to quickly absorb foreign architectural design experience for practice. Under such historical background, the World Association of Chinese Architects (WACA) was established in Shanghai on April 24, 2004, which became a great event in the Chinese architectural community at that time, and gained great support and participation from Chinese and ethnic Chinese architects at home and abroad. The famous Chinese architect Mr. I.M. Pei, as an honorary founding member, highly recognized, praised and supported the establishment of WACA. We sincerely solicit retrospective (prospective) articles, papers and works from all walks of life.
Journal of World Chinese Architects (ISSN 2436-4649) is an academic journal organized by WACA. Undertaken by Qingdao University of Science and Technology, it is an international professional journal with a collection of thematic papers, theoretical research, architectural design, and interviews with architects. Since its inception in 2023, it has included the architectural works and research results of Chinese architects and research scholars in the world. In the future, it will be based on the international vision and continue to explore the cutting-edge theories and design practices in the field of architecture.
