Overview
Today, architecture in China is at a watershed. Over the last decade, rapid urbanisation and the burgeoning economy turned teh country into a playground for the world's signature architects, making it possible to realise extravagant forms and structures at a vast scale. The Chinese government has now drawn a line under the phenomenon by issuing a directive calling an end to the 'oversized, xenocentric, weird' buildings devoid of character or cultural heritage that have sprung up across the country, requiring that urban architecture be 'suitable, economic, green and pleasing to the eye.' This government directive comes at a time when homegrown architecture has become increasingly self-assured and reflective in its approach.
