Be that as it may, Chinese architecture is also undergoing a massive upsurge. This book presents selected projects of severalyoung architectural bureaus from the Middle Empire, all of which hold their own very well alongside the large foreign firms and are making their very own contribution to the creation of a modern China. Furthermore the volume contains a selection of projects of German architectural bureaus which have successfully risked taking the step in the direction of the East. With a critical essay on the current state of Chinese architecture.
