We have 2 pages of Chinese Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages. This page lists just the key buildings. The second page (linked below in bold) lists all significant Chinese buildings. We aim to select projects that are either of top quality or interesting or ideally both.

We've selected what we feel are the key recent Chinese Buildings, in chronological order:

Bird's Nest - Chinese National Stadium Building (2008)
Beijing Olympics - The Water Cube (2008)
Capital Airport, Beijing (2008)
Guangzhou Opera House (-)
Central Chinese Television Tower (2008)
Chengdu Museum (-)
Shanghai Tower (-)
Shenzhen 4 in 1 Towers (-)

Comments on the selection welcome. These are not selected due to their fame but because each in its way achieved a milestone and signified strong creative achievement.

We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and competitions across China.
