ZHU WENYI ONLINE+ARCHITECTURE IN AMERICAS

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 35 countries in Americas that are member states of the United Nations, includes 23 North Americas: includes 23 North Americas: USA, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Riga, Panama, Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican, St. Kitts and Nives, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and Grenadines, Barbados, Grenada, Trinidad and Tobacco; 12 South Americas: Ecuador, Columbia, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguy, Argentina, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname.
The 72 architectural, urban and landscape conceptual designs included in this book cover all 35 Americas countries. I have only visited 4 countries Australia in person. That is to say, there are 31 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.
72 conceptual design proposals can be divided into three periods according to the time sequence:
The third period (2025) includes 25 design works covering 25 countries. 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 Americas countries in 2025. During this period, I called myself an online architect.
The second period (2023-2021) includes 23 design works from 8 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 23 design works of international competitions in Oceanian country New Zealand  included in this book.
The first period (2021-2011) includes 24 design works from 6 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 24 design works in Americas countries. Here, I would like to thank the graduate students for their hard work.
It is necessary to point out that the work 'Architecture on a Mini Screen,' completed on October 19, 2025, demonstrates the recognizability of online architecture.
At the end of this book, There are 8 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), ZHU Wenyi Online+Architecture in Africa (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 Americas  (2025-2013) was completed, the exploring Online + Architecture is in progress.
