If the intention of building these 21st century architectural wonders
is to challenge the world's preconceived notion of China, then Beijing is succeeding beyond a doubt. These visionary new buildings and stadiums have sparked a lively debate not just on the look and feel of the city, but also its soul. The big question, however, is what these new landmarks will come to mean for the city. Can they stand the test of time and changing tastes to accomplish for Beijing what the Eiffel Tower did for Paris?
Or will they become embarrassing reminders of a city's inflated ego? |
