ABSTRACT

As China attains more influence, it may, as identified above in the symmetry, export an instrumentalist architecture of quantities and capacities that loosens or disentangles the rigor and restrictions of ‘critical architecture’ disseminated from the classical core states of the Western World. This pragmatic and ‘junk’ architecture of magnitude may be useful for the populations of the periphery or even the middle class and ‘working people’ everywhere else.
