The general theme of the Chinese Pavilion at the Venice International Architecture Exhibition is “Ordinary Architecture”, which comprises two sub-titles: “Negotiation” and “Daily Growing’”, explaining the meaning of ordinary architecture in modern China, as well as querying demolishing planning to the environment under the power, which breaks the relationship of growing between traditional and current architectures. Hence the concept of ordinary architectures is also an active suggestion to the power. While the rest of the world is pursuing landmark architectures produced by international star designers, we are just focusing on the prominent capabilities and the Chinese intelligence presented among some of the Chinese constructors as they handle everyday space problems amid the environment of globalization. Artists and teams who will attend the exhibition include five local architects - Liu Jiakun, Tong Ming, Ge Ming, Li Xinggang, Liu Kecheng, and photographer Wang Di.
