Today, architecture in China is at a watershed. Over the last decade, rapid urbanisation and the burgeoning economy turned the 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 this 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. A new generation of architects in China in their 30s and 40s are emerging, and in a wholly contemporary way they are exploring local responses to often bewildering urban and rural conditions and serious social and environmental challenges. This is often expressed through a revival of interest in traditional street patterns, courtyards and gardens. At the same time, architects are also recognising the opportunities to harness the potential of China's established manufacturing base to develop prefabricated building systems. Innovative practices are employing new modes of working, such as research-based studio teaching and exhibitions, field workshops, cross-disciplinary collaboration, laboratory-based practice, design think-tanks and collective projects, generating a vibrant culture of design research.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
今天，中國的建築正處於一個分水嶺。在過去十年中，快速的城市化和蓬勃的經濟使這個國家成為世界知名建築師的遊樂場，實現了大規模的奢華形式和結構。中國政府現在已經對這一現象劃下了句號，發布了一項指令，要求結束那些缺乏特色或文化遺產的「過大、外來、奇怪」建築，並要求城市建築必須「適宜、經濟、綠色且賞心悅目」。
這項政府指令正值本土建築越來越自信和反思其方法的時期。中國30至40歲的新一代建築師正在崛起，他們以全新的當代方式探索對於常常令人困惑的城市和鄉村條件以及嚴重的社會和環境挑戰的本地回應。這通常通過對傳統街道格局、庭院和花園的重新興趣來表達。與此同時，建築師們也認識到利用中國既有製造基礎的潛力來開發預製建築系統的機會。創新實踐正在採用新的工作模式，例如基於研究的工作室教學和展覽、實地工作坊、跨學科合作、實驗室實踐、設計智庫和集體項目，從而產生了一種充滿活力的設計研究文化。
