Summary:
Embracing that which could dominate us-the city, infrastructure, overpopulation and social chaos-has been part of the process of Steven Holl Architects as the office has taken on work of increasing complexity and scale in China over the past decade.

The pavilion's dynamic geometry, perspective, and sequence of spaces reframe perceptions of architecture and urbanism.
