Foreword. Dialogic criticism for Contemporary Chinese Architecture
To understand the meaning of contemporary Chinese architecture it seems essential to take into account the mutual game between different points of view, considering the architectural work as a “polyphonic” narrative structure. The research work needs to be based on a principle of critical dialogue—between the observer and the work, between the work and its author, between the architects and the technical intermediary bodies, between the developers and the state bureaucratic apparatus— following the methodological lesson of the Dialogic Criticism of Mikhail Bakhtin. In his original book, Alberto Bologna proposes to observe the condition of contemporary architecture in China from an original point of view. He narrows down the scope of its critical analysis to a few exemplary buildings made of exposed concrete built in the last twenty years and reveals, with a thorough investigation, their expressive qualities and construction reasons. He has the merit of inaugurating a new way of conceiving the criticism of contemporary architecture in China, starting from the materiality of the buildings and the analysis of the conception and realization process.
