FREFACE OF ZHU WENYI ONLINE+ARCHITECTURE IN OCEANIA 2025
BY ZHU WENYI
This is the fourth book in the series of books, ZHU Wenyi Online Architecture in Oceania, following ZHU Wenyi Online Architecture in China, ZHU Wenyi Online Architecture in Asia ,ZHU Wenyi Online Architecture in Europe and ZHU Wenyi Online Architecture in Africa. There are a total of 14 countries in Africa that are member states of the United Nations: Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Nauru, Samoa, Kiribati, Tonga, Tuanu, Vanuatu, Palau, Marshall Islands, Micronesia.
The 15 architectural, urban and landscape conceptual designs included in this book cover all 14 African countries. I have only visited 1 countries Australia in person. That is to say, there are 13 countries where I explored, discovered, conceived and drawing the design schemes through online tours. In fact, even if I have visited a country, there are very few design locations that I have experienced offline.
15 conceptual design proposals can be divided into three periods according to the time sequence:
The third period (2025-2024) includes 12 design works covering 12 countries, and I completed 1 work in 1 country. This is the conceptual design schemes for architecture, city and landscape that I completed individually after retiring in 2023 and starting an online tour of African countries from 2024 to 2025. During this period, I called myself an online architect.
The second period (2022) includes 1 design works from 1 countries. Since 2021, I no longer recruit graduate students, and thus I began my experience of participating in international design competitions individually. During this period, I called myself an Architecture Competitor. A total of 82 entries completed during the three-year period were mainly concentrated in Europe and the United States, of which 74 were my solo entries completed as an Architecture Competitor, including 1 design work of international competitions in Oceanian country New Zealand included in this book.
The first period (2019-2018) includes 2 design works from 1 country. These are the international design competition entries completed by the ZHUWENYI Atelier, which I chaired. During this period, I collaborated with graduate students to complete 79 design works. This book includes 2 design works in Oceanian country Australia. Here, I would like to thank the graduate students for their hard work.
It is important to note that the work Architecture on Pad, completed on August 8, 2025, is a vision of the 15 design proposals of online architecture in Oceania.
At the end of this book, There are 7 appendices at the end of this book, which are introductions to ZHU Wenyi's 7 books: Theory of Online Architecture (2023), Online Architecture (2013-2023), and ZHU Wenyi Online+Architecture in China (2013-2024), ZHU Wenyi Online+Architecture in Asia (2015-2025). ZHU Wenyi Online+Architecture in Europe (2025) and ZHU Wenyi Online+Architecture in Oceania (2025). They show how I came up with and explored the process of online architectural design and its theories.
The pursuit is endless. When the formatting of this book ZHU Wenyi Online+Architecture in Oceania (2025) was completed, the editing and typesetting of ZHU Wenyi Online+ Architecture in Americas is in progress.
