China Contemporary

China Contemporary

Generic and specific

How to represent the collective image of a new Chinese architectural avant-garde? There currently exists a group of architects trying to react on the architectural climate. Are these architects really acting as a group? Or are they individually striving to offer an alternative? The exhibition design offers a generic display method in which the 50 projects contribute to the ‘collective image’ without losing the identity of the individual designers. 50 projects of 28 architecture offices and architects were presented on 70 ‘boxes’ and 24 hanging columns of  1.80m x 1.80m each.

Status: exhibition, opening June 10th, 2006
Team: Johan De Wachter, Laura Gracia, Joana Torres, Jef Hendrickx
Collaboration: Michael Smith, Shohei Shigematsu
Client: NAi Netherlands Architecture Institute
Location: Rotterdam, NL
Photographer: Hans Werlemann
