In 2008, a leading Chinese architecture practice, MAD, invited 11 young international architects to carry out an urban experiment: to design the Huaxi city centre of Guiyang, in south western china. The site of Huaxi is famous for its dramatic and beautiful landscape. Its future is defined by the local government’s urban planning intention to create a new urban centre for finance, cultural activities and tourism. Each architect provided a design for a single part of the masterplan, based on their own understanding and interpretation of the local natural and cultural elements. the result is a series of individual buildings, growing from the natural environment, and working together to produce a compound of diverse urban activities.
