FEX stands for FuturArc Exchange & Exhibitions an offline event that is much in demand by young architects.

The previous name - BCI Interchange City Series (ICS), now an event held for architects and designers in countries where BCI Asia is located to share the latest ideas, has changed its name to FuturArc Exchange & Exhibitions (FEX). FuturArc itself is BCI Asia's award-winning magazine that focuses on eco-friendly architecture and design.

This name change is one of FuturArc's commitments in green architecture. With this, FuturArc aims to bring together active industry players, forward-thinking leaders, and experienced professionals worldwide to discuss various topics on sustainability and highlight green building case studies for participants through a series of exhibitions, presentations, and workshops. In line with the concept and plan, Sun Power Ceramics is committed to continuing the collaboration in the long term, until 2024.

As people’s skillsets get increasingly specialized, collaboration as a practice becomes more important than ever. But what does that mean exactly? What is collaboration? Although “collaboration” has become a bit of a corporate buzzword, that doesn’t mean that it’s an empty cliche. Collaboration is when a group of people come together and contribute their expertise to benefit from a shared objective, project, or mission. However your organization collaborates, it does so all the time, constantly (even now). In fact, collaboration is so ingrained in the way people work nowadays that we rarely even notice when we’re doing it. The organizations that collaborate well are likely to be more financially successful, more culturally aligned, and have higher engagement rates.

That's why reaching a new era conveys insight and information; Sun Power Ceramics collaborated with Indonesian architects organizations and associations and presented new quality programs that benefit everyone, especially professionals.
