On November 1, 2017, we were honored to celebrate our 20-year anniversary with clients, suppliers and collaborators in Beijing. In keeping with the Robarts Spaces vision to build community and uplift the human spirit through meaningful design, the event included participative artistic installations, fusion music and yes, moments to reflect, celebrate and give thanks for the past, present and future!

To celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, our colleagues prepared an engaging QII activity to learn to make mooncakes together. Not only were the delicacies fun to make, they were a delicious way to enjoy the upcoming holidays together. 

All of us at Robarts Spaces wish you a joyous Mid-Autumn Festival.
Thank you for your continued and valued support.
Enjoy the beauty of the moon on 4th October.

Do you know how much waste we produce every day? In China, the number is 1.1 kg per person per day. In Beijing alone, 22,000 tonnes of trash are thrown away every day - enough to stretch around the entire Third Ring Road. Globally, 2 million plastic bags are used every minute and the average plastic bag is only used for 12 minutes. These plastics eventually enter the food chain and end up inside animals and humans.

Can we do something about this as individuals? Robarts Spaces invited GoZeroWaste founder Elsa Tang to share her inspirational thoughts and practical solutions for helping reduce our daily waste. Our colleagues have already put some of these learnings to use.

In mid-August, Robarts Spaces colleagues in Beijing and Shanghai participated in a learning session on the WELL Building Standard, conducted by the International Well Building Institute whose mission is to improve human health and well-being. WELL is the first building standard to focus exclusively on human health and wellness by certifying features of the built environment impacting well-being, through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind.  IWBI and Robarts Spaces colleagues explored scientific research and consulted about strategies for creating a positive human experience in beautiful, functional spaces.
