IFI Congratulates City of Dalian on Declaration Adoption
My IFI team and I are very proud to celebrate with the world three new IFI Interiors Declaration adoptions that took place in the month of September. It is my great pleasure to announce the city of Dalian, China as one of these dedicated cities, committed to investing in the power of the Interior Architecture/Design profession to deliver economic, functional, aesthetic and social advantage to the city as a whole. This of course affects the life-quality of all of its people. Dalian joins the other remarkable Chinese cities that have already adopted this historic agreement: Shenzhen (2011), Guangzhou (2012), Wuxi (2013), Shanghai (2016) and Taipei, Taiwan (2011).
