M8 IN CHINA
Contemporary Chinese Architects
M8 IN CHINA shows a surprising range of work by contemporary Chinese architects. This publication presents eight private, flexibly operating offices of a completely new generation of architects, whose works reveal some fascinating connections between tradition and the western avantgarde. Almost all the designs are characterised by great sensitivity towards regional and historical references, while simultaneously integrating traditional techniques of craftsmanship and modern know-how. Whether it is an artists’ residence demonstrating exciting interplay between volume and empty space and light and shadow, or a museum with a façade made of bamboo-clad concrete like a massive artificial cliff, or a teahouse at the foot of a mountain with a traditional wooden roof and regional slate walls; all twenty-four selected projects represent impressive evidence of the high quality of a new Chinese architectural language that has long established its approach within the global context.
The catalogue is published in line with the exhibition M8 IN CHINA, presented at the DAZ from 05.12.2009 until 21.02.2010.. With contributions of Peter Cachola Schmal, ZHI Wenjun, Eduard Kögel and Robert Ivy.
