Heart-made emphasizes that design should be driven by heart, by conscience. It reflects the moral of Chinese architects who are in the developing course of sustainable architectural design. Fang Zhenning A beautiful design comes from the heart and the heart is the motor of the ethic. It is the architect who interprets the range of this ethic. Fang Zhenning Chinese architecture and urban development flourish as never before. At top speed new buildings rise in the skyline of the great metropolises and new towns and entire new urban districts arise. The speed at which this happens and the extent of these developments have never been seen before in the history of architecture and urban development. The world looks on in amazement. Because at the same time as this massive architectural production a new generation of architects has arisen in China in the last decennium. This avant-garde breaks radically away from the grey and functional architecture of the Peoples Repulic. They are inspired by great western masters such as Rem Koolhaas and en Steven Holl, but also add their own accents, often with references to the centuries-old Chinese culture. New concepts of permanency are central to this. Heart-made not only offers a wide selection of remarkable recent projects, but also gives a good picture of the experimental practices of architecture in the margin: digital architecture which offers a glance at the cities of the future, video, installation art and the art of sound. In this way the book covers a wide spectrum of the young avant-garde Chinese architects who are giving shape to a society in wholesale change.
