At this moment the work of the artist and architect Ai Weiwei represents a fundamental critical and conceptual resource for reflection on the “Chineseness” of contemporary Chinese architecture. The criticism he has raised about what is happening in the country, and at the same time the capacity for solving problems that he demonstrates in working with some of the best Western architects, make him one of the most significant conceptual viruses in shaping a vision of a possible Chinese approach to architecture .
