Teachers and Students：
Prof. Akashi Mochida from Tohoku University of Japan is invited to our school to give lectures, which is sponsored by “Projects of Well-known Experts from Foreign and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Regions Giving Short-term Teaching” of Graduate School of South China University of Technology. The lectures are mainly for graduates of Building Science, but it’s also a great opportunity to learn and communicate for teachers and students of Architecture Design, Urban Planning, Landscape Design and other related majors. Welcome to attend!
