A new generation is shaping China's architecture In recent years, a
refreshingly unconventional architectural scene – outside the
mainstream – has established itself in China. Its
representatives, many of whom were trained in the West, are known
for their sensitive handling of space, light, and material, and by
their engagement with context and their own tradition. Since Wang
Shu, one of the most important representatives of the profession,
won the Pritzker Prize, international professionals have become
more aware of China’s new architecture. Twenty fascinating
examples of different building typologies—many with social
relevance – as well as an introductory essay illustrate current
building activities and provide an insight into the cultural and
architectonic influences. An introduction to China’s current
architectural scene Conversation with Pritzker Prize winner Wang
Shu 20 fascinating projects by about 15 leading architects Also
