| China right now is still rapidly developing and in a period of transition after decades of cultural destruction, which explains why there are so few talented architects but the number of talented chinese-born architects currently is growing fast. architects like yung ho chang, qingyun ma (both already deans of MIT and USC respectively) are already gaining a lot of international exposure. At this rate, China in 10 years will probably take lead in the design stage once it matures and develops its own identity.
i personally am not a fan of ghery..i think he's more an artist than an architect though that's arguable. if i produced works that looked like ghery in my school i'd get shot... |
