    'City Fly' by Perk

  • While it all looks great – architects Tonkin Liu's stylised dusk to dawn exhibition design concept provides a suitably moody feel –it's the architecture section that explores and reveals most. Models for low-rise eco-cities give some hope that China won't be completely subsumed by an unsustainable forest of tower blocks but centre stage is reserved for Beijing's new Central China Television building, a monolithic structure designed not by Chinese, but by European architects. The fact that the landmark building would probably only get permission be to be built in China makes it a statement of architectural and governmental ego, rather than one of urban planning for the people.
