The People’s Republic of China is undergoing a phenomenal transformation. Since 1978, with the adoption of an open-door policy, the country has developed a thriving market economy, out of which existing and new cities are experiencing rapid and aggressive growth. A new generation of architects is active in the vanguard of this construction, developing their own architectural identity.
Building China: Five Projects, Five Stories features five unique
architectural case studies that were conceived, designed, and recently
completed by Chinese architects. Located throughout China, many of
these buildings, being exhibited in the U.S. for the first time, offer
the public insight into China’s ever changing landscape. Through the
stories of these five projects, themes emerge: Production of
Contemporary Culture, Reinventing Urban Fabric, Making the Private
Public, Reinterpreting Traditional Design Philosophy, and Hybrid
Development Models. These case studies of contemporary architecture
introduce critical voices from the People’s Republic of China,
challenging the West’s stereotypical interpretation of China as a
homogeneous society.
Organized by: The AIA New York Chapter and the Center for Architecture
Foundation in collaboration with People’s Architecture, the Danish
Architecture Centre and the AIA New York Chapter International Committee
