<p>Dutch architect John van de Water presents his book 'You Can't Change China, China Changes You' and talks about moving east as a creative entrepreneur.</p>

<p><em><strong>Doing Business in China</strong></em><br/> <em>‘Creative Amsterdam Update: Doing Business in China’, scheduled for November 23rd, is postponed and will take place on January 31st.</em><br/> <br/> <br/> <strong>BOOK PRESENTATION: ‘YOU CAN’T CHANGE CHINA, CHINA CHANGES YOU’</strong><br/> Young, enthusiastic and ambitious - this was Dutch architect <strong>John van de Water</strong> when setting off to a rapidly modernizing China in 2004. His intention was to put into practice in China the internationally recognized ideas of NEXT architects, the firm in which he is a partner.</p> <p><strong>'You Can’t Change China, China Changes You'</strong> is Van de Water’s personal, disarming and occasionally hilarious account of this compelling and confrontational quest for an authentic archi- tecture. Are Western design skills able to evolve in a cultural context as radically different as that of China?</p> <p>Van de Water will be questioned about the content of his book by <strong>Wenchian Shi</strong> (project leader, <a href="http://www.mvrdv.nl/#/news">MVRDV</a>) and <strong>Michiel Hulshof</strong> (<a href="http://www.gowestproject.com/">Go West Project</a>). Afterwards the first copy of the Dutch edition will be presented to <strong>Lot van Schaik</strong> (former Chief of Cultural Affairs at the Royal Netherlands Embassy in China). This evening will be moderated by <strong>JaapJan Berg</strong> (<a href="http://www.berg-plaats.nl/site/home.html">Bergplaats</a>) and will take place in collaboration with <a href="http://www.010.nl/home.php"><strong>010 Publishers</strong></a>. </p> <p><a href="http://www.nextarchitects.com/"><strong>NEXT architects</strong></a> is a collective of architects, designers, constructors and thinkers with offices in Amsterdam and Beijing. NEXT focuses on product design, architecture, research, city planning and development.</p> - ARTEFACT event sign_up_required 2
