Resum
China is going through one of the most dramatic social and cultural transformations in its
history. In this speed change scenario, the never - questioned conventions in the western
architecture have been betrayed. Invention, reinterpretation sometimes even revolution, never
represent a step further as they did in the XXI century theoretical thinking.
To engage architectural thoughts with the booming economy could contribute to the definition of
a contemporary Chinese architecture, far from the generic city, in a society that has evolved
from pre-modernism to post-industrialism in a short period of time.
Through the analysis of Hong Kong, and a series of case studies, a conclusion to this scenario
is sought.
