In the last ten years, China’s economic centres have developed into genuine architectural destinations. Placed in the internationally media eye with events such as the 2008 Summer Olympics or Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China today boasts world-class architecture in its largest cities. In many cities, some virtually unknown to Europeans, buildings also bear witness to the country’s advancing modernisation. Extravagant high-rises, gigantic airports or extraordinary stadiums have already earned a place in the chronicle of 21st century architecture. Like the country’s internationally-recognised stars, Chinese architects are now emancipating themselves from the anonymous mass of state-run project institutes and university planning offices. This book presents a selection of over 30 successful projects by Chinese and foreign architects.
