Completely filmed before 2008’s Beijing Olympics and edited right after its ending, China According to China presents a set of thoughts by five local architects on China’s current situation.

This special isn’t an effort to portrait a certain scene [the profiles of each character are quite diverse] but to establish four issues that every Chinese architect has to deal with in today’s practice [opening-up, speed, agriculture & education] all of which may set the parameters of future development for Chinese architecture.

Featuring:
Yu Kongjian [Turenscape]
Ma Qing Yun [MADA s.p.a.m.]
Jiang Jun [Urban China]
Wang Shu [Amateur Architecture Studio]
Ai Weiwei [FAKE Design]

Foreword by Bert de Muynck and Mónica Carriço [movingcities.org]
