TOKYO, Nov. 18, 2019 — (PRNewswire) — On November 11th, 2019 the GA Forum & International Cultural Awards was held at International House of Japan in Tokyo. This was the fourth of the GA Forum and International Cultural Awards series previously held in New York, Venice, and Tokyo.

The forum focused on the "Contemporary Value and Sustainable Development of Traditional Culture". According to GO ART founders Gianna Guo and Apple Zhou, the forum is designed to protect world heritage sites, while drawing attention to traditional garden culture and establishing a globally-inclusive creative platform based on its principles of globalization and diversification with the goal of discussing the forward-thinking experiment of organically integrating the classic garden with new materials, new technologies and new methods of communication. Forum panelists discussed developing contemporary projects with international influence across multiple dimensions based on the core value of traditional culture. Looking forward, GO ART plans to highlight a variety of cultural and artistic content, including visual art, animation-based games as well as music and film through the internal creative platform "Hi-Garden", focusing on the International Garden Contemporary Art Exhibition.

On the same day, the forum also held its award ceremony at which the international culture awards were presented. Hangzhou "Dong Yuan De Xin CHINOISERIE MANSION" was awarded the title as "Global Collectible Luxury House Award" for their efforts in using the language of modern architecture to express the essence of Chinese traditional garden culture, creating a collectable humanistic architecture.
