To what extent do they differ from the mainstream,what are their specif ic qual i t ies andjust how cri t i_cal are they? Do they fulfil a pioneering role or isthis a purely Western notion based on the attentiontheir work has received in books and magazines?More so than the mainstream, the selected architectsappear to take real i ty as their start ing point, but howdecisive are current circumstances ior a new architec_ture?

F irst ly, an architecturemodelled entirely on Western architecture, r,r,.hichaccording to many offered the best means ofexpress_ing typologies that were nerv to China, such as publicbui ldings and commercial enterprises. A second andvery dif ferent approach aimed to rnodernize tradr_tional architecture as much as possible from withrnand to keep the introduction ofoutside inf luences,such as new bui iding technologies, to a minimum.Under this approach the spatial composit ion, use ofcolour and'proper' proport ions of tracl i t ional palacearchitecture u,'ere resolutelt. irnitated; cun.ed roofswere de r igueur.

1969) betokened little good for architecture. Mostnationai design institutes and architecture schoolsu'ere closed down and their employees dispersed tothe countryside. There was no name for the oro_fession ofarchitect ancl in these years anonymousbuitdings epitomized the absence of design. Althoughthe revolution officially endecl in 1969, no fundanren_tal changes occurred until after the death ofMaoin 1976. After a ten-year intellectual vacuum, thearchitectural debate had to be ignited all over again.So, with a new culture in the making. the search fora contemporary, modern Chinese architecture beganfbr the third time. Initially this took place away fromlhe l imel ight , f ree f rom any bombardment of imagesand ideas from the West.

:**!- ==i:.:.==..i:i+:= := One exception to this was theChinese-born, US trained architect I.M. pei, a long_trme resident of the United States and as such a semt_foreigner. In 1977 he was commissioned to design oneofthe new hotels springing upjust outside A"rJing.Pei wanted to revitalize national architecture with hisF ragrant Hill Hotel and hoped that his return to tra_ditional building styles would set an example.5 Withits series of internal courtyards, *hite_rer-,dered wallsand grey rooftiles, the hotel, inspired by the gardensof Suzhou, was not at all the Western architecturehoped for by the Chinese architecture world. Instead,Pei's example stimulated interest in the by then for_gotten regional architectural styles. The result wasa 'new vernacular' that spread throughout China int98Os. Ultimately, however, this architectural move_ment, based on nostalgia and an aversion to Westerninfluences, came to be seen as inappropriate for acountry eager to embark on the process ofqlobaliza_tion. Besides, scanty knowledge of regionuibui ldir,*styles led to a formalistic approach by architects,while their small-scale experiments did not consti tutean adequate response to complex new urban plan_ning chal lenges. In the second halfofthe tgsos thefocus switched to the swelling stream of informatronfrom the West and the .new

vernacular, architecturemovement faded into the background. However, asmall group of architects (mainly academics) neverabandoned regional ism; since the late t99os cri t ics
