We have an outstanding portfolio of knowledge in EQ resistant construction: We offer both advice for adding safety to existing buildings as for construction of new buildings. Additional costs of integrating EQ safety to new buildings range mostly between 0 and 1 % of total construction expenses.

Welcome German Readers Chinese Architecture Corporation (CHIARC) is rooted in German virtues, broadened to a global perspective. China is different. Timing, responsibilities, ideals, contracts and overall perception are distinguished from most parts of the world. On the other hand, the desire for wealth and future development is exponentially higher. Although many Chinese leaders have studied abroad or gained a deep knowledge about foreign cultures there always remains a lack of understanding. This may lead to misinterpretation and a wrong adaptation to the Chinese market. CHIARC products bridge these gaps and cultivate a global understanding of humanity and professionalism.

Our kids section for pupils aged 8 to 16 is ready to use from now on and contains age-based teaching material in English, German, Latin and Chinese. We strongly suggest this educational kit about the Olympic Summer Games [PDF 4.7MB] from Michèle Meuwly and Sandrine Moeschler at the IOC Olympic Museum, Lausanne, Switzerland, also available in French. There is also a temporary exhibition until October 26 with a wide range of events and a broad educational programme inside the museum and outside in the park.

To our welcome beta readers: This is no (beta) weblog and there never will be. Actually it's prerelease information that will move to the archive later.
German readers should read wirres.net or listen to dradio.de, the British read theregister.co.uk anyway and if you are in China change to any Google RSS newsfeed instead: all available in China for free.
