It\u2019s no secret that the rate of urban development in China has increased dramatically since the beginning of the 21st century. One could be forgiven for expecting the relentless pace of construction to inhibit Chinese architects. Might the ever-increasing demand for efficiency limit creativity and innovation within the profession? If recent A+Award-winning projects emerging across the country are anything to go by, the answer to that question is a resounding \u201cno\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chinese buildings scooped an amazing 26 accolades<\/a> in last year\u2019s A+Awards \u2014 the world\u2019s largest awards program for architecture and building-products<\/a> \u2014 cementing the country’s position as one of the globe\u2019s most innovative for architecture and construction. With young, dynamic firms across China on the rise, it\u2019s worth looking at exactly how \u2014 and why \u2014 the nation\u2019s architects have been so successful.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs China has experienced rapid urbanization over 30 years, a series of issues have been exposed, relating to the ecological environment, historical culture, the construction of cities, and more,\u201d said A+Awards juror Tang Hongjun, Dean at the Architectural Design & Research Institute, Tsinghua University. \u201cIn recent years, from the government and academia to ordinary architects, those critical issues have made us profoundly rethink how we design.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Local Design, Global Impact<\/h2>\n

Globalization has led to a symbiotic relationship between Chinese architects and internationally renowned firms from around the world, many of which have been drawn by the unique challenges of building in China. \u201cChinese architectural culture plays an important role in the evolution of world architecture,\u201d commented Hongjun. \u201cIn recent years, China\u2019s giant market has attracted numerous foreign architects to crystalize their design concepts. Globalization enables Chinese and foreign architects to learn from each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Chinese projects by some of the world\u2019s leading European and American firms are a testament to this fact. For example, the A+Award-winning Shenzhen Energy HQ<\/a> \u2014 designed by Danish firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) \u2014 brings fresh thinking to the high-rise typology, cloaked in an innovative fa\u00e7ade<\/a> that minimizes solar heat gain. American firm asap (adam sokol architecture practice)<\/a> also secured an A+Award for the striking metal interior of X-House<\/a>, an achingly cool showroom in the heart of Beijing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The vast majority of winning projects across the country, though, were produced by Chinese architects: Emerging firm OfficeOffCourse<\/a> was the \u201cPeople\u2019s Champion\u201d of last year\u2019s A+Awards, scooping an extraordinary five Popular Choice Awards in a wide range of categories. OfficeOffCourse encapsulates modern Chinese practice: Founded in 2012 by Huang Zhe, Huang Li and Zhang Yao, the firm works \u201cconstantly, collaboratively and virtually\u201d between offices in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n

Architecture for the People<\/h2>\n

Given their recent record, OfficeOffCourse is well placed to speak to the future of Chinese architecture, particularly the changing nature of public space design in the country. In recent times, most \u2018public\u2019 spaces in China have tended to be located within gated communities, restricting access for wider communities. According to OfficeOffCourse, architects are beginning to address this issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMany architects have been participating in micro renovations in the old, open neighborhood; on the other hand, several living quarters can be united as one area to enjoy connected and integrated public spaces,\u201d explained Huang Zhe. \u201cFor example, Shanghai Gubei Gold Street is an pedestrian-only common space for the several gated communities nearby. The former strategy is relatively easier to conduct; the latter calls for joint, collaborative efforts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Zhe also points towards the changing scale of Chinese projects as a catalyst for more innovative developments: \u201cIn past decades, China has been the experimental field of mega-scale buildings for architects around the world. These kinds of opportunities are shrinking, but meanwhile, small-scale architecture \u2014 especially in villages \u2014 is growing rapidly. We believe that the new approaches to China\u2019s vernacular architecture could have a great impact on the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fostering the Next Generation\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Besides Office Off Course, another standout Chinese firm is SUP Atelier<\/a>, which created one of last year\u2019s A+Awards Projects of the Year: The Village Lounge of Shangcun, a brilliantly detailed bamboo pavilion<\/a> that brings the local community together. SUP Atelier was founded by Professor Yehao Song, an educator and designer who epitomizes the close relationship between academia and the architectural profession in China.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, the evolution of education in China is a key element in the development of a new generation of architectural talent. \u201cThe core of the architectural education system in China is that it\u2019s rooted in the profound Chinese culture. We have our own excellent traditional architectural culture, craftsmanship and skills,\u201d explained Hongjun. \u201cAs a new generation of architects, it\u2019s vital we continue the heritage of traditional culture and skills, and then innovate on them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This fusion of age-old culture and modern innovation is the key to continued success for Chinese architects, and the signs are promising: Young, vibrant firms are pushing the boundaries of contemporary design, while recognizing and responding to the unique context of China\u2019s highly varied regions. As a signal of what is to come from Chinese practice in 2020 and beyond, it will be fascinating to view the next array of A+Awards submissions.<\/span><\/p>\n
