Set apart
from China's globally criticised stance on the issues of climate protection,
Internet censorship, and human rights, over the last ten years China's economic
centres have developed into genuine architectural destinations. Initially
earning only a tired smile from the architects of the industrial nations and
accused of plagiarism, breathtaking buildings have risen out of the ground in
Beijing, Shanghai, and elsewhere. In many other megacities, which are 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 also emancipating themselves from the anonymous mass of
state-run project institutes and university planning offices.
