Metropolis Magazine has a profile of Chinese architect Chang Yung Ho, who was recently appointed chair of MIT’s school of architecture. Chang is the founder of Atelier FCJZ, China’s first private architectural firm.
Most notable about Chang’s projects are their size and their location. Many are smaller projects and concern the fields of education, the arts, and civic building. While Chang is doing some work in Beijing, most of his designs are in the “other” China: the provinces where the vast majority of the country’s population live, and which are largely left out of China’s relentless economic growth.
