Abstract

The article examines developments in urban architecture in China. The changes in urban architecture include the shift to hypermodernity from traditionalism, a growing initiative to conserve and preserve historic buildings, and the rise of Third Stream architectural projects sponsored by the government and successful corporations. The cultural authenticity and the interaction of urban landmarks and novice Chinese architects' use of the countryside to explore their new designs are also described.
