Since the reform and opening up, China's landmark buildings have been designed almost by foreign architects. Especially after entering the 21st century, the economic development and the national self-confidence brought about by the Olympic Games have also raised the ambition of large-scale landmark buildings across China. And many foreign architects continue to obtain design orders with the singular shape of the post-modern style.
But this era will come to an end. According to the "Beijing News" report, in the CBD of Beijing, the core business area of ​​the Chinese economy, the new landmarks of the two projects under construction are all handled by Chinese architects. In the conceptual design, the integration of contemporary architectural thoughts and traditional Chinese architectural culture concepts is the common pursuit of a new generation of Chinese architectural architects.
The "Beijing News" also believes that the history of China's landmark buildings has long been a test site for foreign architects may end.
Foreign architects lead the Olympic new landmark
For a long time in the past, the more landmark buildings, the more patents of well-known foreign architects. The Beijing News reported that China’s rapid development and unconventionality have provided a tentative platform for overseas architects. Many surrealist and novel architectural designs have gained practical opportunities in China. . “Bird's Nestâ€, “Water Cube†and “Big Pants†are all products of this architectural cultural thinking, and these are difficult to adopt in other parts of the world.
In April 2003, Wu Chen, who was a Royal Chartered Architect and a director of the UK's Terry Farui Architectural Design Company in China, issued the voice of “China is becoming a testing ground for foreign architectsâ€. After media reports, It has triggered a big discussion from the architectural and cultural circles.
Numerous objections have been criticized in terms of the irrational design of these foreign architects and the destruction of urban fabrics. Of course, this big discussion does not change the status quo. China is still favored by foreign architects, and many landmark projects are still the first choice and the only choice for foreign architects.
Local architects take over new city landmarks
In recent years, some young Chinese architects have begun to enter the mainstream stage of international architecture. In 2005, Ma Yansong and other MAD-designed “Monroe Building†was the first time that a Chinese-based architect won the design right in an open international competition. His design was known as a cutting-edge and pioneer. In the past two years, his design has also been selected by China's landmark projects. Junhao·Central Park Plaza is an example.
Junhao·Central Park Plaza is located in the CBD of Beijing. It is a commercial complex with office, commercial and residential properties, adjacent to Chaoyang Park. In this building, Ma Yansong uses the method of borrowing scenery to echo the architectural form with the natural landscape in the park, and the traditional artistic conception of the Chinese landscape, such as lakes, springs, forests, streams, valleys, rocks and peaks. The images that are converted into buildings are used in the architectural language to create a harmonious transition between high-density cities and natural landscapes.
In addition, there is also the Pritzker Prize-winning Wang Hao, who built the Beijing CBD new landmark “China Zun†Wu Chen... Wu Chen covered “Zunâ€, “Bamboo†and “Kongming Lan†in “China Respect†Chinese traditional elements such as "City Gate" are a new building that originated from Chinese culture, based on the Chinese capital, and reflects the future of Beijing.
The design concept of Chinese young architects has inherited and borrowed from the traditional Chinese architectural culture. The design of these young architects is even titled "futuristic". “Futuristic†may represent the public's sustenance for the future development of Chinese architects.
Ending or blending is always a problem
At the time of the development of Chinese architects, some experts said that China’s testing ground as a foreign architect should be ended. Of course, the so-called end does not mean that foreign architect projects will be completely abandoned in China, and more pointed out that Chinese architects have equal and harmonious cooperation with foreign architects.
Architect Wu Chen told reporters that he hopes the world is multi-level. But don't think that the rise of a generation will inevitably replace another generation. The world should be diversified and able to live in harmony. Regardless of the various ideas, various genres, and various forms of architectural expression, as long as they can contribute to social development and progress, they all have the inevitable value of their existence. "In fact, we should cooperate better with foreign architects. Cooperation should be an equal and harmonious cooperation. It should not be a platform for us to provide experiments for foreign architects to carry out experiments.
“In the future development of urbanization, Chinese architects will have more opportunities than other overseas young architects,†said Zhang Yuwu, a professor at Peking University.
Then, whether they can end this pattern of "China has become a foreign architect test site" for more than ten years, everyone will wait and see.
