Beijing Galaxy SOHO: A place the developer tears down all of the hutong courtyards and replaces them with an abstract hutong-inspired courtyard.

But Hadid saying that it’s inspired by a courtyard? Really? -Why does every western architect working in China feel the need to compare their building – no matter how abstract – to a traditional Chinese courtyard?? -It’s not “inspired” by a hutong, merely replacing it. So fraudulent.

Though you’d think there’d be a saturation point for SOHOs, and that they’d reached it already.
