At some point, it seems that the ability to “dazzle” became the sole criteria for judging architecture. The struggle for today’s architects is to learn how NOT to dazzle, in order to concentrate on the fundamentals of architecture: space, usability, materials, technology and urban settings. In this lecture, architect Yung Ho Chang will discuss the projects of Atelier FCJZ, the architectural firm he founded.

Chang Yung Ho (architect)

Yung Ho Chang is one of the world's most closely watched Chinese architects. Born in Beijing in 1956, he spent 15 years studying and teaching in the United States before returning to open Atelier FCJZ in 1993. Translated as "unusual architecture," FCJZ (Feichang Jianzhu) was Beijing's first private architectural firm and its steady stream of innovative projects – including buildings, exhibitions, and publications – has helped define a broad notion of what Chinese architectural practice can and should be.
