Avant-garde Chinese architecture
In the 21st century, a lot of foreign architectural works entered China, showing that decision-makers were open-minded. Such competition and cooperation made Chinese architects mature faster. Also in this period, "avant-garde architecture" officially ascended the historical stage of China's modern architectural art development under young architects' efforts.
Between June 22 and 27, 1999, at the 20th Congress of World Architects, young Chinese artists' experience of exhibiting experimental architectural works full of twists and turns received much attention from foreign colleagues.
These young architects tried to stay in sync with world architectural thought, showing their confrontation with mainstream culture.
Between September 21 and October 28, 2001, at the Chinese New Architecture exhibition themed "construction" held during the "Asia-Pacific Weeks Berlin," the hosts Stadtkultur International e.V. and Berlin's Architecture Forum Aedes invited German architects to select works.
Works by Zhang Yonghe, Liu Jiakun, Ma Qingyun, the School of Architecture, Nanjing University were selected.
A lot of excellent Chinese architects began to play a leading role in the arena of modern architecture.
In 2006, Ma Yansong's design of the streamline high-rise apartment building "Absolute World Towers" won the bid in Canada.
This was the first time that a Chinese architect had won design right through open international competition.
