In the era of city clusters, the integration and co-construction of regional development has increasingly become the prevailing trend. As the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which hold the status of *** tourism city clusters and economic regions, they bear many important missions, such as serving as an opening "window," an economic engine, a source of radiating influence, and a demonstration of reform. How to achieve complementary advantages and integrated innovative development between these two major regions has become a focus and challenge of concern to people from all walks of life.

In response to this hot issue, on January 19, 2024, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Young Engineers Beijing-Tianjin Exchange Event was held in Beijing. A delegation of about one hundred people visited the History Museum of Beijing Institute of Architectural Design Co., Ltd. The delegation included relevant leaders from the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs Office of the China Association for Science and Technology, the China Federation of Engineering Societies, and the Beijing Association for Science and Technology, as well as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Young Engineers Exchange Delegation and representatives of young engineers from Beijing. Through visiting the History Museum, the young engineers from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area gained a comprehensive understanding of the image IP, spiritual core, comprehensive strength, and development vision of the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design, which is of positive significance for spreading the brand influence of BIAD.

It is reported that BIAD, which was founded in the same year as New China, is located at No. 62 Nanlishi Road, Xicheng District, Beijing. In the course of tracing, exploring, continuing, and integrating the history of BIAD's development, generations of BIAD staff have cultivated a creative philosophy of leading high-quality architectural design through holistic innovation, and have also achieved the "Beijing Design" brand with enduring vitality. The History Museum is divided into four chapters: "Founded with the Nation, Guided by Leaders," "Continuing the Cultural Lineage, Passing the Torch," "A Century-Old Institute, Great Masters Building the Nation," and "Digital Intelligence Empowerment, Technological Innovation for the Future." Wandering through it, one is presented with the splendid chapters of the "history book" of Beijing's architectural design in New China.

The exchange activities of the young engineers from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area not only provided opportunities to promote interregional cooperation, but also built a platform for technical exchange and knowledge sharing among engineers from various places. Through interaction with representatives of young engineers from Beijing, members of the exchange delegation promoted each other's growth and improvement through continuous exchange and collision of ideas. At the same time, they also gained an in-depth understanding of the engineering development situation in the Beijing area, laying a solid foundation for subsequent cooperative projects.

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Young Engineers Beijing-Tianjin Exchange Event provided valuable opportunities for complementary advantages and integrated innovative development between the two major regions of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao. The delegation's visits and exchange activities not only deepened exchanges and cooperation between engineers from the two places, but also built a bridge of cooperation for regional development. After the event, the guests received the BIAD monograph series "Selected Examples of Foundation Design" as a memento of their visit.
